I find that I crave a particular sensation of having done some wrestling with an interesting or difficult problem space. It’s a sense of fulfillment of having gone down some rabbit hole, retrieved some valuable nugget of insight or skill, and emerged hours later with something precious in my hand, my metaphorical body covered in the sweat and dirt of having struggled past my prior limitations. It’s exhilarating, and it makes for great stories and cherished memories.

It’s a muscle that I have to remember to exercise regularly. I get flabby and weak unless I go on a short expedition once in a while. I never regret it when I do.
