shoveling technical snow

[teferi]

In Murakami's Dance, Dance, Dance, the protagonist, a freelance writer, describes the PR and magazine article he writes for a living as "shoveling cultural snow", as the process of writing them is tedious, but largely mechanical.

This chapter of thesis (describing what the code in the compiler actually does) feels like shoveling technical snow.
