I’ve always been fond of games, and I think language is very similar. It has rules, and things don’t make sense if you don’t follow them.<\/p>\n
I like trying to figure out who committed a crime in the fiction I read or watch, and coming up with a well-reasoned argument in defence of a particular position, or solving a technical problem, is very similar. It’s all about looking at something as a challenge, evaluating different variables and responses, and then seeing how something you decided plays out in the end.<\/p>\n
I always get a rush of adrenalin when I look at a puzzle and ponder the best approach to dealing with it. It’s even more enjoyable when you have someone like-minded with whom you can banter and debate. Because there is always more than one approach to everything, and it can be fun to choose between several good possibilities.<\/p>\n
Small changes to a document can have a trickle-down effect to something as a whole. Call it an example of the butterfly effect. So, it can be particularly satisfying when you carefully consider a seemingly minor detail, knowing that it may not actually have a minor impact, and watch as it ends up being the right choice in the end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
