Wow! Atoms not bits. The vocational version of “touching grass” (??)

I can believe this based on my own experiences. (I’ve never worked in construction, it there’s a strong correlation between the jobs I was happiest in and the jobs that involved a high degree of manual labor.)

Many handymen I talked with about their work always refer to short feedback loop and movement. * Manipulating atoms using muscles is as natural as you can get.

I’m skeptical. I guess I know too many people who’ve injured themselves pretty badly doing this

This explains my constant daily urge to quit my job and go into construction (I’ve already some experience in the stuff with my dad growing up)

Having now participated in both sides of the labor pool for more than a decade each, I can say construction is significantly more rewarding on a daily basis than tech work is. I absolutely love building in tech space, but only if it’s a thing I get to use, otherwise I’d rather build your house for you

I'm somewhat of a builder myself...

Having been in construction for a brief mowing in my life, I could tell you that construction was the bane of my existence.
