Ahhhh, the wondrous distractions of technology, while real life living goes on hold..But only for a few days, and then you're out in the natural kingdom of joyous miseries - great stuff!
Which do you enjoy more - coding or reading poetry? That may be an unfair comparison..I'm sure it's quite possible to enjoy both equally!
They're chalk and cheese to be honest. The fairer comparison would be reading prose vs. poetry and writing philosophy vs. code. And in the latter, more fair case I must admit it's not like that at all since I'm not really coding! I'd compare it more to a video game where the game is that you are the manager of a pizza company but you can't make the pizza — you have to manage the people doing it. That's about the best analogy I can come up with. It's a mix of the dynamics of managing and the addiction of video games where you can almost taste the goal at every moment. Very peculiar sort of fun I have to say
PS - I too appreciate the relevancy of the Tversky snippet.
It's great right?
