I am so sorry if programming stopped to be fun for you but please don't extrapolate that to all of us. I would hope that for most there is fun and less work.
In immortal words of Confucius "Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life"
Very cute. I didn't extrapolate it to "all of us;" if it fits you, you're not "us" in the sense it was intended.
Choose a job you love, and you will never work a day in your life? Very petty sentiment from an industry that's swamped with demand.
Point is I am doing this for last 30 years , I choose this when computers were not 'cool' and 'hip' , internet was arpanet and BBS was well BBS. It wasn't demand or promise for richness what drove my choice of profession. Good question is why you choose/do this if it is not fun to you?
You don't sound like a hacker. You sound like somebody who types a lot in order to change the patterns of lights on their monitor.
You really put the ass in assumption. Thanks for your input; this is your output.
This programming thing is a lot of fun, right? We have been entrusted with the unique responsibility of making pretty much the entire world go round. (There aren’t a lot of industries that don’t need software these days.) And not only that, but we have a lot of fun doing it.
Fun? It can be, sometimes, or at least was for some of us when we started. Making pretty much the entire world go round? No, most of us aren't anywhere close to that. We make happy little sites and apps for rich people to buy jewelry and make fun of their friends and mark posts 'liked' on social networks. I know people who work on the software that runs airplanes, and that's soul-crushing C tweaks and opimization at best. We have a lot of fun doing this? No, I think most people in any reasonable place to comment do this for work, and "fun" is almost always a secondary consideration if it is one at all, at least for the non-independently-wealthy and personal-future-minded.
Yeah, I guess we do need to talk. Because you don't seem to understand what the vast majority of us don't do or what our priorities aren't, let alone that we are pretty much normal people that don't need hyperbole about which comments on which sites matter.
