I have a different angle: I love the idea of woodworking and metalworking and building houses and all those manual professional activities, but much more than actually doing it. I enjoy reading professional books about the theory and practice of those things which are both extremely old (thousands of years) as well as always adopted to the latest machinery trends. They're all grounded in reality and do useful things (usually). That's inspiring for me and a counterpoint to a lot of the short time shit we do in software development. I'd like to think that ideally I'd mostly work on software that is similar in use to what woodworking, metalworking and traditional construction produces.
