OI! I LOVE MY CODE From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of StephenB Sent: Saturday, March 23, 2013 5:38 PM To: feistfans-l Subject: Re: What's it like ...
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!
