Earlier quoted context omitted.
In wood working and software time is used by doing it. If you program software wrong you lose time by having to do it again. In woodworking you lose both time and materials.
Also, I suspect many of us here "spent" time learning programming as children/teenagers and honed it as early twenty-somethings. At those stages of life time is essentially free and unlimited. You can easily pull allnighters and 40 hour hacking weekends and 80 hour weeks - and you do it because it's exciting and fun, and it has only very minor opportunity costs - you might miss a school or college assignment deadline…
Thoroughly enjoyed reading that. Thanks pal.
