> So if we look at a software engineer's week, is it more like the park ranger or the NFL player?
First time I'm thinking about this, but there were a couple of things that immediately came to mind.
1. Doing something you know (you have processes and habits and strategies) vs. doing something new.
2. Doing something that is difficult (I suppose fundamental AI research is an example) vs. doing something that is easy (prototyping a CRUD app for 100 users).
Here is how I came up with these thoughts.
For 1: doing something I know vs. something new is a huge difference. And I think you need a higher sleep quality for doing something new as it aids with learning.
For 2: My family is mostly blue collar. Some of them have huge muscles and some of them didn't. The huge muscle people had a way easier time doing their blue collar jobs. However, most of them got back issues eventually and I couldn't relate that to their muscle size.
