If you see "programming" as "writing code" then I can see where that joy is lost. If you see "programming" as "creating software" then you can maintain that joy

If you see "programming" as "writing code" then I can see where that joy is lost. If you see "programming" as "creating software" then you can maintain that joy. I would argue the goal has always been to write less code. That has driven the design of programming languages for the past 50 years.
- baal80spam 1y agoThanks for this. It helps to rethink one's motives.
- card_zero 1y agoBut if you see programming as creating the semantics of software, it's unclear whether being limited to design documents is satisfactory.
