Why I elephanting love my job...
-
Even after almost thirty years I still get up excited at the thought of doing my job even though I do far less coding than I would really like. And why, I hear you ask, is that? 1: Get to work with some elephanting smart people - I get to learn stuff constantly. 2: Who doesn't love cutting code? 3: Get to play with computers all day. 4: Get to play with new technologies when they come out. There are more but those are the core reasons, especially number 1: it's hard not to be impressed by the people around me.

This is probably going to come off sounding arrogant, but I assure you it isn't -- I wish I had that experience. For the most part, it's been the other way around most of my life. The exception was (and still is) when I work with hardware engineers. I've pretty much never had the experience of working with software engineers that I've been impressed by. Marc

After looking at your articles, I'm pretty sure it'd be a miracle if there were two people like that in the same place. You'll have to get used to impressing others rather than being impressed by anyone.
