Another "yup", with personal anecdata from this weekend. Was feeling seriously underpowered on Saturday, so it was a good day to make some drudge changes to code, nothing that could be automated easily (mostly one offs and edge cases, sadly). It was very mechanical and needed doing. Perfect for Saturday Zombie Me. Had something similar during my biweekly management and product meetings today; updates to not-quite-every syslog call where there was a tiny bit of judgement in deciding whether to make the update and a tiny bit of judgement in the making itself (a few vim macros could have sped that last part up a little, but that would almost have been too effortful). Perfect drudge work I could do with 1/2 to 3/4 of an ear tuned in to what others were saying, not so difficult/deep that I couldn't rouse myself and comment when necessary.
