Umm... So none of this sounded like "work". It sounded like playing with a fun new technology then bothering other people to try and gain some sort of status as "architect" or expert in the fun new thing.

How do you get paid to spend so much time on the fun new thing when there are boring things that people paying you want done ?

Yeah it's great if you have the free time, no kids etc. Otherwise the grind of staying ahead is just that - another grind.

It's been a long day...

I used to work with Blardo. His desk was right next to mine roughly a decade ago.

I think he's describing his own experience of his turbo-nuclear sense of curiosity. I don't think he ever seeks out status as an expert or architect - but that sometimes is the natural result of the way his brain works.

The grind is only a grind to those for whom work is not fun. And boring things are only boring when you look at them through a certain lens.

I think they mean "work" as in everyday functioning, not as in a job. How their brain works, I guess.

Seriously, if I could get paid to "work" like this, I'd work all day.
