After working for over 20 years, mainly using Common Lisp and Clojure, I got bored and took a break for about two years.

A few days ago I read about Myers' distance algorithm and have been trying to understand and write code for a few days.

I enjoyed it again! Isn't boredom not due to programming but due to the environment surrounding me? Now I am looking for opportunities in other continents.

Cycling friendly places would be great.
