I love writing the bleeding edge stuff. I wrote some code in 2008 that was still running, unmodified, in 2015. It was an awesome feeling... knowing that something I had written way back when was still running.

I love to code... but my biggest issue now is that I have a severe stress related anxiety issue which leads to depression. If there is no pressure on me, I can code like crazy... but the slightest amount of pressure, leads to stress which triggers my anxiety issues. And from what I can understand from my psychologist, high order anxiety leads to a flight or fight situation and your brain starts shutting down in preparation for either flight or fight... and as a result, I can concentrate or at times even think logically and I just stop working. It's a pain in the arse... because I still love to code.
