I worked as a garbage man to pay for the start of my software ventures. It was the best combination thinkable of sitting in a room on a chair behind a computer, being in the software clouds, typing away, and being outside, working out, having fun and getting enough sunlight.

These both completely different things balanced each other out perfectly.

So you’re saying that collecting garbage enabled you to learn about garbage collection?

Nice. I think the key thing here is, or was, the mix: the two activities complementing each other.

Also, perhaps, the knowledge that both were temporary and meant to lead to other, or better, things.
