What's up with carpenters? I see a lot of references to it.

  I personally like to find parallels between trades and crafts to help connect my thoughts and experiences to the more abstract world of software. I started my life in carpentry and joinery so it seems to be where my mind finds it’s foundations when thinking in systems and patterns.

    Nice, do you recommend some books or YouTube channels for this? Also: I had something completely different in my head and I didn't check Google for it. But I do the simularities right now.

  Carpentry is an ancient profession, and still respected to this day. Though modern carpentry is a complex profession akin to engineering, it is colloquially viewed as simple enough for laymen to understand its concepts and tools. Additionally, carpentry as a hobby is relatively popular both for its practicality and its relatively low bar of entry, with much room to develop and expand.

    I see, I had something completely different in my head. Never googled the word "Carpentry" but I see the simularities.
