Comments on: Why Do You Write Code? http://regulargeek.com/2009/03/26/why-do-you-write-code/ Where programming, the internet and social media collide.

I first realized this after rethinking what my favorite anime series are and what artice they? Cyberpunk and science fiction series! I love how computers can be trained to do tasks with programs. I also love the process of learning and reading the mechanisms of a program. Creating web sites and web applications is something I practice right now and that's really what it's about. Practicing because it's something you want to do. My gramps always used to try and convince me to be a nurse but...that's not really my thing. I'd like to enjoy what I do and there's plenty of money here, otherwise no one would be in the field regardless of their love for it. Even though paying bills is far more important, pick something you like. You don't want to be miserable all your life, do you? Programming is about design, logic, and problem solving and these are skills you can take with you anywhere in life. I code because I’m fascinated by technology.

I decided to try making a website in 1995 and that was pretty much it -- my fate was sealed. I like the challenge, especially if it involves very little repetitive work (I bore easily). I like the creative aspect and the immediacy of web development so that's where I'm at. I actually like what I do most of the time... the pay is good and I don't even have to get out of my jammies if I don't want to (I telecommute). I just sort of fell into it.

I'm very intuitive and I'm a perfectionist. Working in information allows me to to do what I am naturally good at and make a lot of other people's work that much better. Computers amplify my abilities many time past any other medium that I've worked in. I’ve always liked puzzles, liked math and logic, liked being creative. I’m very intuitive and I’m a perfectionist.

Some people feel like programming is their true "calling". The problem is that for a blog post like mine, how do you explain it :) Brent,

I guess it is very close to what I was thinking with the creation idea, but it definitely sounds different. The most important thing is that you found your way into programming. Abeer
