...because I switch between nearly all of those during the course of a normal day.

You can't spend your whole time learning new languages and tech - because you need to use it in order to learn it properly: learning the theory is nothing without actually putting it into practice.

And coding is dull unless there is design involved; Teaching needs understanding (or you end with with uneducated students); Big Ideas need details; and so forth.

So, I have to go for "other" - all of the above, pretty much.
