I have been star-eyed kid passionate about absolute energy conservation for as long as I can remember; drawing plans and trying to build perpetual motion systems during playtime. I am not sure when or how it happened, but eventually I began to realize that perfect energy conservation might not be possible. That friction, trade-off and losses are an inevitable part of the equation.
I still catch myself wanting to design the perfect architecture, write the perfect program or buy the perfect laptop that will last perpetually. I have to remind myself often that Engineering (and much of life) is a balancing act of making the most elegant compromises in the given time frame (and improvise later). Its been a tough and valuable lesson.
