Why I love programming#
  • 1. I love puzzles.#
  • 2. I love Rube Goldberg contraptions.#
  • 3. I love solving problems (I have an inner-Columbo).#
  • 4. People are the biggest piece of the puzzle (again Columbo).#
  • 5. It teaches me about myself and my limited vision and imagination (if I had unlimited vision and imagination, I would never program a bug, and if I did it would take me 0 seconds to find it).#
  • 6. I yearn to work together with great minds. Programming gives me that, when I use someone's API. And when the API anticipates my needs, and is instantly understandable, I feel the soul of another artist is present. I imagine this is how musicians feel when they play another musician's song or symphony.#
  • I'm sure there's more to it. But today I'm working on a "lite" problem, and I'll figure it out, but right now I'm enjoying the fact that I don't get it. #
  • Back to work Dave!#

As often the recording level is too low, so turn up the volume if you want to hear the comments. A productive Saturday session. # John Johnston , a longtime friend of UserLand and my newer products, asks how WordLand connects with FeedLand. Two ways. 1. FeedLand has an API, still working on it, but it will be public. 2. FeedLand has an outbound websockets interface , which is already public,...
