Is when I can design a system and write the code that will make everyone’s lives easier, but I can’t do the same for my own.
Is when I can figure out how to solve any problem given to me, but not any of those that I actually care about.
Is when I care more about what will be over in a week than what I had hoped would never end.
I’m almost sure I am describing irony here, but wouldn’t it be ironic if even that were turned on its head.
