I like things that work, and I like making things that work. Coding has been a thing I do when I need to, but using the skill to investigate existing code has been the dominant practice.

Every time I reach a goal I move the cheese. I think I'm still getting better. But I'm also realizing the potential to pursue previously unknown goals. It is part of an ongoing discovery process that is not limited to engineering.

If I had a lot more money, I would probably pursue my goals differently but I don't think I would stop pursuing them.
