PASSIONATE PROGRAMMERS: WHAT I LOVE ABOUT WRITING CODE

JUSTIN JAMES says he loves the nitpicking and problem solving he gets to do when writing code. He adds: “A few days ago, someone asked me to describe what it is like to do my job. I told them, ‘I am a professional nitpicker. Every detail counts. On top of that, my job is to think of the craziest way someone could use my product, and then have it continuing functioning.’ I think that sums it up pretty nicely. I enjoy programming for the same reasons that I enjoy reading great books, doing crossword puzzles, listening to ‘artsy’ music, looking at modern art, and watching David Lynch films. It is really all the same type of thinking, just a different medium.”
