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.

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.

Speaking of the car, here’s a picture of my new 2012 Ford Shelby GT500 Convertible!

Beautiful cars here at the Hershey Meet. This 1930 Packard is listed for $165,000. It looks mint. Restored and with a recent fresh paint job.

After reading Ryan McCarthy’s post at Reuters about Business Insider, I wanted to run some numbers.

After all, they’ve linked to nearly every significant article I’ve written for the last few years, often automatically by scraping Techmeme.
