It is only "your god damned job" because you can't let go of the fact you're programming on some machine. You should be trying to abstract from that so your programs are more portable and less implementation-dependent. Will you also be obsessing about the internals of the next computing paradigm? I'd rather solve real-world problems in a general, machine-independent way, instead of focusing on the moving parts of a machine that is simply incidental to my job.
