E.g. writing compilers, optimizing code, exploiting hardware/API quirks, implementing math functions. The Jane Street puzzle is nice as well. Those are only things I've worked on, though. As for theory, I've applied automata theory in compilers, written an evaluator for the lambda calculus...

I'm starting a new job at a warehouse in a week. So far my jobs have been homework grading and tutoring. We'll see how it goes. If I have disappointments about the moderate physical work I've done so far (mostly odd chores: gardening, assembling furniture, demo, etc.) it's that it can be...
