Programming, I dunno. Finishing a program has the same effects as drugs when they get you high. You see your program working perfectly, you look at it with awe, and admire it for a couple of minutes. It gives you that sense of achievement and satisfaction once you get the codes working.
There's also this other aspect to programming that's as exciting: While you're in the process of writing the codes, tapping those keys while at the back of your mind you know you're doing something significant, sometimes it gives you that sense of power. Ironically, as gently as you tap those keys, it feels like you're giving away the most powerful cognitive blow your intellect could offer the world. Small as the code may be, either you're learning some language or updating a small portion of an existing code, still gives you the same feeling of power. This is given that you know you're on the right track and you feel like your codes are going to work as intended right after finishing the last lines; the other extreme to that gives you the same intensity of negativity that makes you wanna punch the monitor and break your keyboard in half. And still another aspect, looking at clean codes built by masters or any tutorial for that matter, they shimmer like jewels. It feels like you wanna taste it or lick the codes out of the monitor. Lastly, even at the stage of learning a language, a programming paradigm, methodology, to learning how to install a linux box by yourself, to knowing the ins and outs of networking, and what not, they give you that same sense of satisfaction and achievement when you're done making a working code. I dunno. Probably this qualifies as passion.

I'm a noob programmer. Coz all I need i found it on the net. what i do is combining them for the easy task. and edit it to fit then the result is like a touch of the pro! so i have a lot of free time doing reading eBooks and many more,studying other language and explore. and i call them a bible today. programming is my passion because when im just a kid, i saw the family computer, it amazed me so much. so my ambition is if not to become a hacker, a "Rock star" since i love music til today. and im a musician, too! really, programming makes me happy. and i keep on breaking the rules in order to find the solution to make myself and the program happy(its borrowing the codes from others.) QUESTION IN YOUR MIND: How come it became your passion if you are not the one making the whole code? ANSWER: Because the happiness its not by means of creating a new code(i do when its necessary only) to make a program. the thing that makes me happy is how to program it in the way you want it to happen and behaves. like the ENGLISH language we are using to communicate. we dont need to create one if its their and exists everywhere. Furthermore, I enhanced and improved the code i found in the net and stock it to my code library.

If I'll be given an option between writing a program and watching YT vids, I'll definitely take the latter. Maybe it isn't my passion, but I'm thankful at least to have these basic programming skills that give me some confidence in making simple web apps, by from scratch or not, maski for work or even just a lingaw-lingaw site. I still can't deny that great feeling when people are using your application while you're free to add features on it and everyone's like "wow cool update!" 2011/3/8 Paul Michael Labis <[email protected]> LOL, Just read everyones' idea and I share same thought though not directly like... Anyway, programming to me is a hobby. I enjoy writing code and learning new languages and frameworks. I don't think of it as a job but as a passion. An art or as my masterpiece... The sweetest part is getting praised of the QUALITY of code you write and that just makes me feel so good. Like drugged! hahaha.. But thats just to me.. Isn't it challenging to to make something work that you haven't experience yet or worse, no one had? hehehe On Mon, Mar 7, 2011 at 11:33 PM, hard wyrd <[email protected]> wrote: couldn't agree more :) It's like being a skydiver. before the jump, it's worrisome. You worry if your plane will take off, will reach the right altitude, or whether your parachute will open properly, or whether you'll have a safe and smooth landing. Then you take the plunge.. you have to or else you won't experience it. Then you landed.. safely. And you enjoyed the rush :). You wan't to do it again. That is now passion :).

I can't deny that it does become stressful at times, especially when you have it as a profession, but don't you just love it when all codes come together? feels good doesn't it? :) On Sat, Mar 5, 2011 at 8:09 PM, hard wyrd <[email protected]> wrote: Programming will become a passion when you don't feel stressed when programming. Not even when debugging your code, or letting others understand your code :). Also, programming becomes a passion if you program not only because its your job, but because you love doing it. I'm not a coder by profession, but I code from time to time, little by little. So it's a passion for me, not a job.
