Code and Why It's Awesome.

Before I do anything let me explain what drives me to code.

For me, I find the ability to picture an abstract concept, form it into a design and implement it is an amazing thing. Creativity is a distinguishing feature between people and everything else. I have an urge to create things, it just makes me feel good. The artform I've chosen to be my main output of creativeness just happens to be software development.

Programming lets people show off their inventiveness, logical problem solving and design skills all at once. I sometimes think of it as being the closest thing to real life wizardry. A perfect combination of technology and design. Being a programmer changes the way you think about the world. You become the kind of person who can see the beautiful nature of maths and numbers. You look for new solutions to problems and find problems nobody even knew existed to solve.

Some of the other perks of the software developer is that your projects generally don't weigh much, don't get you dirty, and you can work on it anywhere or anytime as long as you have the hardware.

Software development, to those that have interest, should never become dry, since programming reaches across all other fields. Everything you can possibly think of, computers could theoretically help with. It's even central to new cultural mediums.

Staying true to a discipline and creating awesome stuff makes people and the world they live in a better place. I'm open to people contacting me personally for help on their own projects or questions about mine. I suggest to everybody, get involved in a creative project because it does a lot for the human spirit.

I'll end with a quote that epitomizes one of the many reasons I code:

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." - Arthur C. Clarke.
