It’s Always Something Different
Every so often I have a conversation with someone that inspires me to write a article. This is just one such post. One of things I love about being a computer programmer is that each day is always something different. Every day I get to work on and solve new problems (never the same thing). Even when something doesn’t quite work out it never turns out to be for the same exact reason.
Now a old friend of mine told me how he overhead a conversation in the gas station about how he heard people say something like “same day same crap”. That’s not always the case. Most manual labor jobs are typically boring and the crap you deal with is the same. Most skilled labor is never the same day same crap. I have never a had a day where I worked with the same annoying issues.
As a programmer I can assure you that it’s always something different all the time. This is what makes being a computer programmer interesting.
