And yes, there is a certain art to be found in a run of concise, tightly written, elegant and well-mannered code. I never could get my ex-wife to understand that, btw. rip On Mon, Mar 25, 2013 at 10:08 AM, StephenB <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: STEP AWAY FROM THE KEYBOARD!!!

In some ways writing is a bit like programming - for a piece of software, database, website etc. You write chunks of code. The good bits get put into a library for reuse, but even then they can outstay their welcome and are culled - sometimes ruthlessly. Enjoyment is seeing something work as planned. Being somewhat obsessive about getting it right, and having a professionalism to produce your best is one thing. Getting emotionally attached is another. Find yourself doing that and your work - life balance is a bit skew-whiff as they say over here. Time to step away from the keyboard... ...I don't spend 30yrs writing code for the same project, though it feels like it sometimes!
