"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.


...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.


You 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.


Albert is awesome.

Groan, but I gave you a bump up anyway.
