I should actually be working 8h a day, but most of it is spend not working. If I'm honest I'm probably working more like 3h a day even though I enjoy my job.

I'm so jealous. That sounds like a ton of fun!

Well, there was the harrowing part in the middle where I was bankrupt in the developing world and nearly died of cholera. That wasn't a super fun few years.

...and if we're being honest, my level of obsession with engineering stuff would be considered a mental disorder, if it wasn't so productive. Like, if I had the same level of interest in 90s sitcoms instead of machine learning or assembly language, I'd surely be considered mentally ill -- but it's just one subject instead of another.

It's weird where we draw the line, isn't it?
