I like to live my life in a way that is best summarized by this quote from the science fiction writer Robert A. Heinlein:
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion,
butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance
accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders,
give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new
problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight
efficiently, die gallantly.
Specialization is for insects.
Anybody who understands what this quote really means will understand me, and my motivations, better than I can explain in my own words.
