a few years ago my daughter asked the question “what is programming?” she was quite young at the time, and heard me referencing the skill for one reason or another. so rather than just explain with words, I got out the laptop and we wrote a program to demonstrate.

programming has always been an enjoyable activity in and of itself for me. I work as a software engineer, and have found that this is not the case for everyone doing the work. but the ability to enjoy the act itself is what allows you to keep up with the field. if the only programming you ever do is that which people are paying you to do “on the job”, you will not discover new things, as employers rarely are willing to risk your time on the clock on wild new ideas. so I wanted to convey this aspect in some way.
