Tegowerk - A love letter to bicycle maintenance and repair

notes

i think the feeling is likely common among all humans of all ages when they discover the joy of building something useful.

the insight about a disconnect in knowledge work with the tangible impacts in the real world likely hit a lot of people who do knowledge work for work and not for fun.

perhaps it's less to do with tangible work and more to do with doing these kind of activities because we want to and not because we have to.

as always, the true answer is likely complex and depends on many more things than just tangible / work etc etc.
