I like coding. The thinking, the problem solving, the expressiveness, the chiselling out of a solid block of emptiness. It is my art.

I made it my trade. It's a double-edged sword, with which I badly stabbed myself a couple of times. I tried to drop out, but can't help but come back to it.

The job's not me alright, the coding is a big part of me for sure.

Hah! If I sounded exclusionary when I said art, it wasn't intentional. Art is in whatever one may do.

Beautifully illustrated. I like a blank whiteboard; it represents potential.
