I think today one can do heck more than anyone has ever had been able to do; but this is very personal.
I could spend literally billion years on ThinkPad programming. ALSO this makes me feel extremely sad, for collective species of humanity, will miss allowing this opportunity. That is, instead of collective focus on enabling ourselves, least our successors (!), to live forever, we are dying because of lack of adaptiveness to the technology.
I will tell that I am certain 8 hours a day for 20 years will sort of leave you permanently disabled to point where even acid may not save you.
ALSO, beware that the ones wanting that you get buying their products want you exactly in your comments mindset.
Trading 8 hours a day for twenty years to permanently avoid that boredom really isn't that bad.
