My job as a software dev is usually pretty cushy office job. Then sometimes I get involved in seagoing expeditions or trials as part of it, and it changes a lot. Still very much a day job. I am not (that much of) a trained mariner. Definitely become witness to (and involved in) high-pressure situations, like "we have to winch this big yellow thing onto the deck, but it's too close to the aft and we can't reach it with the grappling hooks, it's dangerously close to getting sucked into the propellers, please please figure out how to fix the networking so we can send the CHANGE_HEADING command to get it to drift to a safe grappling distance". It definitely does wonders for honing your Calm Problem Solving mode.
