Programming! It's currently a hobby of mine (and has been for over 10 years) that I hope to make into a career of mine. I do some minor scripting and whatnot at work (and thankfully, I get paid at a much higher rate for the time that I'm doing that), but its not the "main" thing I do.

I live in a world of many unanswered questions, full of illogical conclusions and actions. But with programming, it is all about logic - the computer does exactly what you tell it to do, and I find a ton of beauty in that logic and how that logic makes sense to me. It doesn't always make sense at the first pass, but at the end of the day, its always something that I (or someone above me) told the computer to do incorrectly. There's always an answer!

Whereas the rest of my life, I hardly ever have the power to get my own answers, and others surely often don't have an answer for me either.

I love to talk about programming! especially about optimizations, and you can come up with so many analogies and stuff.

glad it's my career, good luck for you!
