> cooking to save money when you're a software engineer is almost certainly a poor use of your time. I spend most of my productive time thinking. That happens while cooking, walking, reading a book, taking a shower, sleeping, etc. I would even go so far as to say there is an inverse relationship between hours spent 'working' and productivity. Spend more time poorly. It's great for your career.
