I come home from a day of fixing bugs and stumble upon a "game" called Grow Cube that was on reddit.com. After beating it I realized it was a "fun"* version of some of my job. The point of the game it to select the ten operations in order and if you get them out of order it is a the animation won't continue. In other words the first time you randomly try an order (to seed "your" program) and then debug the order until it works.
*I would say my job is much more fun then the game. The game didn't let you create anything new then what was already there.
