Still programming!

Programming still gets me excited even after doing it for over 40 years. I still learn new stuff, reach new heights, and know much less than I thought I did, all the time. It requires incredible concentration and memory and creativity to think of ways to do things that you can kind of describe in words but have no experience making work with ones and zeros.

People who haven't programmed think it's just coding. You just code it up like a Morse Code message. Other people think up the ideas, coders do the coding. Well it doesn't work that way. Not even slightly.
