    I get this from time to time. Then I just remind myself to the days before starting to code and how hard I had to work to earn less than now. And I get back to coding instantly then.

    Good point! This is totally better than barman/waiting on, and twice the money at the very least...

      Most people only do that as a step on the way to becoming XML programmers.

        I have been back from my vacation for two weeks, and strangely, I haven't written a single line of code since. That feels great, assuming it does not affect the paychecks. The bad thing is, now I have to worry about pretending that I am coding while I am not. :-D P.S. Just kidding, I am back to coding today.

          No way, he's much too skilled as a developer to become manager.

              Say it's compilng. Sometimes I lose my desire to code, but more often I lose the desire to code a specific problem or program and switch to another when possible.
