Are you crazy? Why do you code?

Question

I work with systems for a living and only recently discovered what coding/development is all about. I feel like a kid on Christmas day and I don't know why. I'm learning python as a hobby but aiming to move to the DevOps field in the future armed with my newly found love of Python and the methodical mindset that coding teaches. My question to you is: Why do you code? Are you having fun? what field do you work in or are you still a student?

Answer 1

I am crazy - that's why I code 😃😃😃

Answer 2

I am a university student, majoring in computer science. I plan to be a dev for either a software company or gaming.

My cheap answer to why I code, is because it's fun.

I enjoy thinking about what I could program, and ways I could improve my own methods. It's constantly on my mind. If I dont get something, I spend hours on trial and error. Then I become a master at it. Part of the reason why I lurk the discussions here.

If I personally don't know the answer, I'll go look it up or try to make it work myself. By helping someone else on here, I'm also learning new approaches or methods of doing something for myself. It's a win win.

Answer 3

I look at it as necessary->supplementary knowledge for intrusion analysis; cyberdefense.

It seems like the more you learn... the better you tend to be against adversity--as long as you also develop the skill to select from multiple options​.

Answer 4

I code because I really like it . I'm having much more fun than I expected.
Still a student but aiming to enroll at Computer Science University and and become a software developer. 😀
Btw , good luck!

Edit : Yes, I'm crazy. Crazy with programming! 😣😤

Answer 5

I code because it is a true creation. You can make _everything_ from the lines of code - from the simple lines to adventures, universes, beauty... Also you can make really useful things, and it makes a difference between coding and art. And yes, I like to code because I really like the feeling when you find a simple and beautiful solution.
