Though something that "just worked" could induce a kind of manic fun for  a

Huw,


What constitutes fun in programming?  How do we define it and what are its
parameters (i.e. when is it no longer fun)?


Fun is in the eye of the beholder.

Paola,

I would suggest you turn that question on its head and ask folk what they
would like to know more about, and those who feel equipped can then rise to

Hi,

Do you know of any upcoming events (conferences, workshops) that would be
of interest to people into the psychology of programming?

I’d like to add them to the PPIG events page:
http://www.ppig.org/upcoming (the next five are also on the home page).

I can add calls for papers, calls for participation or general event
information. Mail me the event link and I’ll do the rest.

Thanks,


Paola

Deeply unanswered/able? :-) And, still, horses for courses. Outright
xio-paths might have a different psychological relation than we do.

[ppig-discuss] Upcoming events related to the psychology of programming?
