I normally keep my posts related to software development side, but felt this confession just had to be posted. I don't mind washing the dishes for our house. Heck, any house. Somewhere in my childhood I took over washing the dishes and the 'chore' has not bothered me for a long time. It is simple to do, you can see the results immediately and it leaves a sense of satisfaction. (Like spell-check)
Now I am not knocking all of you who don't like washing the dishes. It is just that from the feedback I hear from most people (my kids) it is a chore to be avoided. Not so much for me.
Why is this?
I suspect that I like the idea of taking on a known task for a limited time and seeing the task completed to everyone's satisfaction. Not so much like programming, which you will always feel the need to change for approval. Not dishes. No Sir. They are done. Everyone who comes into the kitchen will not find one dirty dish. In fact, they would have to get themselves a new clean dish to use before eating anything...
Maybe dishes are more like programming than I first assumed.
