I don't feel like writing code, right now. But I have to. I give props to programmers. I really do. What I love most about them is their patience and problem solving skills. I'm guessing programming is a task that one must acquire a taste for, before you begin to enjoy it- kind of like beer. Unless you were born into programming, then that should deserve a different point of view. When I was first introduced to programming, I thought it was torture. So awful, and so uninteresting I thought it was, I began to think "how can anyone put themselves through making sense of such tedious-looking babble, even more, creating it?" At that point I wanted to understand it, for the sake of answering my own question. Then I began to practice and learn the fundamentals, and the whole fantasy of playing god began to sink in, so then I appreciated and enjoyed it. Now I'm beginning to look at it in an antagonizing perspective, again, because of how complex it's gotten and how distant I've become with it (not to mention the fact that I've just only began to scratch the surface of it all) and just thinking about it discourages me some more. I know if I put my mind to it, I can become really good at it, but a part of me just doesn't want to.
It's 2:30, almost, and I know no-one will ever read this, but it's good to vent, and it's kind of, sort of like a crisis to me. Anyway, I'm glad there's more to comp. science than just programming. Wow, I feel better. Thanks, CAG. I
