I my self can be exceptionally lazy when I'm not doing something that involves creative thinking. I tell you though, lately iv'e been feeling a little down due to pressure at work and iv'e just read pg's new essay and this one. Just reading the first words of pg's essay cheered me up. when pg talks about programmers, there's no worldly spirit in what he writes. You don't see words like professional, certification etc. He writes like a kid writing about his favorite hobby. This article actually saddened me. Like its been pointed out, you really feel the author squeezing the fun out of programming. It reminded be of the stories in the Bible with the Pharasees and Scribes. They put on the outer mask of religion but rejected it's inner power: The Holy Spirit. Similarly, there has to be that inner love for programming to make good stuff. I'm not trying to say I think the guys wrong or a "Scribe". I just think that its sad that he talks about it in such procedural way. I would hate programming if I thought like that!
