Why We Program

I love Marco Arment’s comment answering the question “Why did you write this software?” after stating clearly it isn’t a unique solution.

marcoarment/secondcrack – GitHub:

Because I’m a programmer, and this is what I do.

Some people jog away from their house every day, only to jog back. Others walk on a treadmill, expending energy to get nowhere. In both cases, it may appear to others that they’ve accomplished nothing, but they’ve chosen to do these seemingly redundant activities on a regular basis to incrementally improve themselves. And it works.
