I'm an average programmer on my best days. Writing the same things over and over used to seem tedious, and boring. Day-in, day-out writing authentication backends, some boring object relationship mapped to an use object, Javascript to disable a button, a test to asset that a page is rendering correctly, etc. But then one thing happened. It took me less time to do each of those many "boring" things. Repetition was forcing me to think about the problem behind user authentication backends. About the most web-compliant way to disable a button. How to automate the work of writing the tests. Little by little. One by one. Line by line I started to become a better. Repetition is not bad. It is good. It forces you to think about the same problem from many different angles. That is why I'm more than happy writing yet another API in Django. And I will be happy in any field with any language. Its the process of growing and developing my skills that keeps me hooked.
