in reply to Software engineering: a useless profession?

So, when you leave your job at the end of day, what/how do you use that skill for something else which might be pleasing to others rather than your employer or yourself (e.g, wife/husbands/kids, even in-laws)?

Perl at home: for munging exerimental data for significant other's research, and sometimes (when cajoled) for munging data for S.O.'s lab colleagues. Typical data transform involves 10 to 100 lines of code and 5 to 60 minutes. To outsiders, it looks like magic.
