Love it, I never went to school for cs, founded a company that did very well, and reached a point where I needed to move on. I was the chief geek, so the board wanted to replace me with someone credentialed, and all I heard from him during my transition was what a mess everything was. Not long after leaving they lost what I considered to be the best coders, because it is fun to code something up and deploy it, everything else can be labeled as work too easily.
