    Having just gone through something…I can attest to the fact that when you see no end to the pain, the mental anguish is immense. For some people that means a couple of points.

    For me when asked, I always think “could it be worse?” and having never had my balls trampled by a herd of elephants, or been hanged, drawn and quartered…I could never give a 10.


  • My first foray into doing anything remotely close to programming was substituting things in other people’s TCL scripts. I had no idea what I was doing…but i was somehow getting results.

    I curently have no idea how this person did this, and so as a bare minimum id have to learn that in order to know where to start replacing keywords. Maybe it’s completely trivial, but the fact remains I do not know and so I would have to learn something.

    So yes, even if they’re “just replacing keywords” they’re still learning something. Even if you consider it trivial or mundane.
