What skills, what can you do (non-digital, something real and valuable) besides programming?


I build robots, 3d printers, and other mechanical things. I design, build and debug electronics. I'm also trying my hand at furniture (built http://imgur.com/a/HLbWF yesterday). I also cook a lot.


I play violin. I consider playing it to be valuable to my own piece of mind and play for others on occasion. I'm sure I'm not the only amateur musician on HN though.


I help people who are new to computers or non-computer-savvy build their own PC's from components to save them getting shafted by companies that sell PC's wholly.


I fix and tune cars - I'm in my Honours year of a motorsport engineering degree. Right now I'm working on dramatically reducing the weight of my Citroen C5.


Repair steam-engines, cut wood into tables, benches, and shelves.

Also, despite many many years of my life spent practicing I can still cut my head shaving!


I'm good at Math. lol Not really good at anything else besides programming.
