Why I (Still) Code
- endergen 17y agoNice domain name!
- joshu 17y agoAlbert is awesome.
- jbl 17y agoYou know, these sound like the same reasons I left grad school (Sociology) to go back to coding. I'm much happier building things that other people can use.
- callahad 17y ago"Sixth, it never gets dull. There are always shiny new toys to play with." I wish I had that perspective. Instead, I find myself growing weary trying to keep abreast of all the shiny new toys, and feel like it gets in the way of accomplishing or mastering new things.
- heckacopter 17y agoI've been coding for almost 20 years, and plan to do it until I am no longer able to, for all the reasons that the author mentioned. I feel very blessed to be a coder. I think of coding as a form of alchemy. I sit at this keyboard, move my fingers around, and can create things of great value out of thin air. That's pretty amazing if you ask me.
- edw519 17y ago...coding combines several other things that I really love. There is a bit of math, a bit of writing, a bit of puzzle solving, etc... That's what does it for me.
