Yeah, animals know what plants to avoid. I would say that when it comes to what was poisonous monkeys already knew that and people didn't have to rediscover it.

I would say it a combination of two things:
- People walked around for around ~300.000 years before inventing agriculture. That's a lot of time to find out things by accident. We learned about antibiotics by accident. I'm sure also stumbled upon many inventions by pure luck.
- Caveman were smart. As smart as we are. Average person is not going to invent electronic watches but there's always this 1% that's more curious and intelligent that will experiment and discover things.
Combine this and you have 300.000 years of very slow but steady progress fuelled by chance discoveries and occasional geniuses.
How many square metres is that?
I was just wandering how stretched out his hole is. Nothing dirty.
How are you dealing with everything being in HTML and full of attachments now?
Totally. 12 years old CPU is really cool. I change my computers every 5 years on average. Sure hope my current workstation will last me for longer.
That has to be one sturdy belt. Have you been using the same hole over the years?
That's awesome. I have some things from my childhood at my family home but nothing that I actually still use.
Totally agree. I myself switched to product owner couple years ago. Now I'm back to programming (I do both actually, come up with requirements and then do the coding) but I agree just coding got really boring. My point still stands tough: switching to a physical job is not a solution. It will be boring and depressing. Switching to more creative positions is better.
When I was studying computer science I worked couple of summer at a construction site in the USA (illegally, like a good polish boy). It was not nice. It was really boring. I don't know about other people but I like programming because it's a creative process. Solving problems is fun. In physical jobs there's just to much time to think. And yes, programming can also be boring and some physical jobs really creative but in most cases programming is way more creative. If you're programing job is as tedious as laying bricks change jobs.
Why didn't you just ask?
