Be descriptive and convincing. Pretend we are your child waiting for a bed time story.
In LOR terms...
It's like weaving a spell. Maybe you want to build a fireball. First, you just try to get the damn thing to show up. When it finally does, it's a rush. You do a happy dance. But just getting it to show up isn't enough. You want it to be the best fireball you can make it. And you want to conjure it in one second, not one minute.
You tweak your weave until its neat, small, sturdy and flexible. You step back and admire your work. And then you go off to kill some orcs with your new weapon. It's a warm fuzzy feeling.
My favourite thing about programming is that when I do it I'm feeling like an artisan that is bringing his creation to life, but it isn't the finished product itself that gives me joy of programming, it's the process: deciding how it should look like and why, which tools would be more appropriate, and see if my ideas would solve perfectly the purpose of the product, otherwise I'll enjoy spending some more time in the process of refining it.
The favourite part of programming for me e.g. work on different and large scale projects.And that's project will help to the people. Like 'Hashnode'.
Hi @theonlyrealtodd. I'de say that the process of solving a problem is , for me, the most rewarding though favorite part in programming. You're given a particular issue, and you work your way through it by trying things, learning from your failures and picking the brain of others.
You may end up tired, frustrated, but in the end, the only thing you go away with, it's this overwelming feeling of achievement .
Have a good one.
Having a challenge; learning something new; struggling with a problem / new language and eventually getting to the point where you can write in the language like you'd speak in your native spoken language.
Been doing this for the last week or so - Enough people have asked for and I finally got sick of hearing it - an iPhone app for the site. So last week, I started writing it in Swift 3. I'm no pro yet and this won't be my first app in the store - but Swift 3 is new to me; I haven't had an app in the store in 3 years (last app was in Objective-C) and I'm starting to be able to write code from memory and not from reference. Or last night - the concept of auto layout finally clicked and I got that working.

I think in pure functional logic and store information in an n-dimensional representation of a directed graph, and I love coding languages for their precision.
Multipurpose functions, to me, are quite literally poetry. I love building complex idioms using tiny bits of logic as my vocabulary. I love writing scalable, maintainable code that reflects the perfect order of my inner logic. I love diving into a bit of code and feeling like I'm discovering something amazing and perfect—that rush of insight when I "level up" and suddenly can use a new skill to its fullest potential.
It's so creative; programming feels exactly the same to me as writing music, cooking a dish from scratch, playing an open-ended game with infinite possibilities.
