my days seem more and more to consist of me making things over and over again.
In a way I think it's good, because it means you're developing your ideas - but at the same time quite frustrating. 
I think now I have to physically see something made before I can problem solve and develop ideas, before I could do it all in my head, or on paper.

That's my job. I test industrial 3D scanning & modeling software.

That's most of what I get to do. 
It's actually a lot more pressure than you'd probably read from these posts.

Some of everything. Mostly time constraints and expectations of consistency that's very tricky to replicate because every task is different. I have to be an unending stream of engineering feedback about an increasing number of expensive tech projects, software and (to some extent) hardware. We're making it all up as we go along because that's how things are made.

Here goes my 7,500th post. Where else would I put it?
