One of my quips is that no one hates software as much as software engineers.

To me, this seems like the main thing that differentiates me from my peers. I love software, the fact that I can have the equivalent of hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of specialized equipment (e.g., media editing) in a little box that I can carry with me anywhere, and these tools are so good, that even professionals with access to the specialized hardware choose to use the software versions instead---

I don't think I'll ever be bored with not only the infinite possibilities, but also the extraordinary democratization, that software has created. I love software.
