Thank you for your compliment. I have coded since my early teens, so a lot of the code-adoration has faded through the simple wear of time. And, like people seem to as they look towards the end of their twenties, I've made a few mistakes and had a few growing up experiences and those have really broadened my mind about career and goals. The cyber-valhalla is fun and after a while - for most - the fun palls and you stumble out of the soda hall one day and realize that there's a whole world with unexpected complexity and richness that you've neglected in your pursuit of the code. There's a whole book - Microserfs - about that experience. It's worth reading.
