The same line of thinking applies to programming, of course.
In practice, however, the life of a programmer is usually split up into too many tiny async slices by email, chat, meetings, etc. to even attempt to enumerate here. It's so far the opposite extreme of what he describes here that it's like ironic comedy.
Makes me feel like I'm doing life all wrong.
- codr7 7y agoI've been doing pretty much what he describes for three years now, except writing code and sharing it with the world for free [0]. After spending 13 years writing software professionally in everything from major established corporations to consulting and startups. I don't have that many options for health-reasons, and I'm privileged to live with a partner who pulls most of the economic weight. But I can't imagine doing it any other way anymore.
