If you want to do the software equivalent of digging a ditch that’s cool, but I’m not sure why you would expect to get an engineer’s salary for doing so.

The idea that coding is the only part of your job is “actual work” is where you’re going wrong. The goal is to create robust, well-functioning software that’s documented and fulfills what it needs to do, not write an arbitrary amount of code. Your job is more than just doing the part you like.
I think I was running x11amp, but it was Linux-only at the time.
It would be pretty easy to make a fraction class if you really wanted to. But I doubt it would result in much difference in the precision of calculations since the result would still be limited to a float value (edit: I guess I’m probably wrong on that but reducing a fraction would be less trivial I think?)
