        I can sit enthralled for hours watching a skilled machinist work a piece of steel on a mill or lathe. I've used both, but have no particular skill or speed. Real machinists are artists in metal, and worth watching! :-D

            No, too many people's skills are easily dismissed. I guess we know ours are and learn to appreciate others.

              If you do anything for 10years solid you get to do it without thinking much. Thats why I like programming, you never get to that state.

                I know plenty of developers who have done it for 10 plus years.... I don't think too many of them have done much thinking during those years either.

                  I like watching people who are good at what they do. Being in the automation industry, I appreciate seeing efficiency wherever it might be: user interfaces, skilled laborers, building design, nature. At the opposite end of the spectrum, I have a doctor appointment today.
