  Both are grunt work, the point is that manual labor grunt work is just as bad or worse. Do you do manual labor?

    You keep saying this like it's an objective fact. It's not. Running a bandsaw 20 times might sound to you like the epitome of boredom. To me, a (poor) woodworking perfectionist (i.e. I'm always trying to make my work furniture-grade, but usually failing) it's an exercise in constant concentration and error-correction. To a master, it can be the epitome of mindfulness.

      An activity being “mindful” is not the same as an activity being “intellectual stimulating.” I do not consider software engineering mindful in any significant way but I do agree with you that repetitive manual labor is quite mindful.
