    Coding excites me and gives me a purpose to go on. It does not fatigue me, it gives me strength. It makes me a veritable superman, why, it makes me a stallion in the bedroom.

    Don't ask me why, but that reminded me of Wild Stallions. Which in turn reminded me of Wyld Stallyns on Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. Which reminded me of the fact they're making a third iteration to the franchise. Now you know. Oh, and congrats on the bedrock Mr. Flintstone.

      Not a comparison I would be comfortable with, have you actually seen a stallion at work, I like to think 30 seconds is a little too quick.

            We are researchers conducting a survey on fatigue and programming. http://checkbox.io/studies/?id=542c520300b6a6f927000182[^] We previously studied other factors of in the workplace (e.g., Programmer, Interrupted). Your answers will help researchers gather data about fatigue and investigate possible detection and alleviation mechanisms. This will also help us understand and investigate an opposite state of fatigue: flow. Serious and fun answers welcome in the thread :)

              My home life is so exhausting I go to work for a rest.

              Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

                  Caring for the other party can result in repeat visits. Sincerity, I can fake that.

                          I call BS. Anyway Coding for myself for fun. Yes that is good. Coding for CRUD screens so that someone can enter an Insurance Claim Faster so that the 'Company' can deny coverage quicker and save more money so that some fat cat can line their own pockets with more premiums? Not sooo much fun. Hard to get motivated for that. Working for Elon Musk? yes please Clickity[^] Working for Insurance? ummm Yawn! Clickity[^] All that being said I do have to pay the bills or the DW gets annoyed.

                                Of course, I do have the added advantage of actually owning the company so I don't have to work for "the man" (whoever the man is).

                                          Not a comparison I would be comfortable with, have you actually seen a stallion at work, I like to think 30 seconds is a little too quick.
