Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do.

Why I Code - rhyolight's posterous

Why I Code - rhyolight's posterous

How I got from soldier to JavaScript geek at Yahoo! is not interesting. Why I Code is interesting, and I would like to talk about that. At first, I dabbled like a frightened monkey pushing unknown buttons in a lab cage, wondering what combinations divvy out the best digital treats. Soon, I could see the full potential of this amazing career field, and I wanted nothing more than to dive into it, head-first, without reservation.

But why? Why is this coding thing so awesome? Why are so many of us so passionate about what we do with our little languages that compile down into cryptic bytecode?
