    It can honestly be fun. I was never a math person and my school put me in the moron track in high school. After my time in the army, decided to see if they were right.

    Now I have a masters in Mech Eng and a few patents. Turns out my math teachers were shit and only taught to the kids who got it quickly, and never bothered with the rest of us.

        I have, and it was enjoyable.

        (Stick with me on this) The joy from spending months to years developing, iterating, designing, and testing something that eventually not only works but works well is an amazing experience.

        During Covid, my engineering group also made several ad hoc solutions that could be used for people that didn’t need a ventilator but also were having breathing issues. It saved thousands of lives. Was a nice feeling.
