My theory is this: programming is kind of like dancing. The product isn't eternal but the moment is. The feeling isn't lasting but it's worth chasing.

Programming is a state. It's a way of thinking. Like dancers, we're never not programmers. We never turn it off. We sit in front of the computer to shape the world around us. As programmers the moments spent coding are the essence of our lives. Patches of memories stitched together by code and hard work.
