Why program?

Programming is like being God. Only in the world of the computer can I dictate exactly what I want to happen and then have it happen. Sure it may take months of work and research but ultimately the only thing between the programmer and omnipotence is persistence.



I do not think I have ever sat down and thought how much I enjoy coding. What normally happens is that there is some outcome I want. I look everywhere I can think of to find an answer that someone else has made or a way of doing things that could avoid the problem. Sometimes there comes a point where there just is not an attractive solution. At that point the normal person gives up, but not the programmer. That is where the fun begins
