Exploring, tweaking and cleaning up code offers a special type of problem solving unmatched by most professions. I consider myself a scientist and spend a lot of time doing what I call "experiments" and other people may call "random pointless things." Both in computer science and other fields, I love to try things just to see what happens. As you investigate multiple fields, you begin to understand just how similar many things are. Abstract concepts in one field can be applied to another. Just a few miraculous feats I have accomplished in my recent tenure: As a teacher/tutor, I begin by inspiring my students with the same excitement and show them that learning is not necessarily a chore.

Bill Gates is famously quoted saying, "I will always choose a lazy person to do a difficult job… because, he will find an easy way to do it."
