If you did it for fun, you’re a total fucking nerd. If you did it because the knowledge will be useful, you’re just diligent.

A couple of years ago, I was studying compiler and virtual machine design because I had some ideas on viewing software development as defining languages and implementing them (taking it even further than what I see in domain specific languages). At work, they ran into a problem with their data processor that required reimplementing part of the code as miniature virtual machine. There’s a reason they came to me with it.
