heh. that's the best description I've ever heard of it. How else can you explain 18-hour coding sessions where you don't eat (except for anti-inflamatories) or drink because that would require typing slower and you put off going to the bathroom because it's distracting and taking time. And continuing to do this when it is causing more and more damage to the nerves in your hands and forearms... And those are only the short binges, not the truly marathon ones that I know many of you have the luxury of doing. (36 hours straight is only feasible if you don't need to take children to school or feed them/care for them.) :) Does that mean that when we encourage someone to learn to program, we are pushing them to gain a new addiction? t

Coding is that unending urge in life that you have no control over. Just like a drug that you don't want to stop or can't stop. _______________________________________________ Dailydave mailing list Dailydave () lists immunitysec com http://www.immunitysec.com/mailman/listinfo/dailydave
