I think the hard part is that unpredictable work has to be done more with discipline. Predictable work often originates from external requirements, and the external interest to the work gives you motivation. However, unpredictable work requires more intrinsic motivation (or discipline), as there is no external interest until you get some results.

On C language an expression which evaluates to any non-zero value is considered as True. So for example this kind of statement would not likely behave as intended:
if (TRUE == expression)
{
...
}

Exactly. IMHO abstractions on the problem-domain are good. But then there are these kind of meta-level abstractions, like factories, proxies etc., which are usually just making matters complicated.

I think I know what you mean. When I was a kid, I got a feeling of complete emptiness lasting maybe couple of seconds when I was thinking about what if there wouldn't be anything.
