I am driven to construct things well. It comes out in my hobbies as well as my work. For example in book binding, which I used to do a lot, any mistake you make in the 10-30 hours you’ll be spending on a book, will be visible in the end result. I try to apply the same logic at work. Trying to find that sweet spot of simple but versatile software design, taking into account engine specific functionality and various limitations. Like with book binding, it never ends up exactly as you wanted, and you see some blemishes and problems when everything is done. Those are learning points for the next project.
