I absolutely love writing code and building solid, long-lived libraries and apps.  There is nothing else in life I'd rather do but develop software. Cool | :cool:

I'd rather be with a beautiful woman in a stable, loving relationship. Developing software isn't that great in comparison.

It gets boring real quick if that is the sum total of your life!
 
Don't be bloody silly you need to earn a living, so do you take pride in what you do for that part of your existence!
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

I do, and I do. However, Ravi said, "There is nothing else in life I'd rather do but develop software." and that is what I was responding to. I enjoy writing code, and I am happy to make my living writing code, but I can think of lots of things I'd rather do.

That however would not be a vocation (well it could be. But that is illegal most places).
 
Ravi was posting about his vocation as that is the actual topic. The topic was not "What do you do for leisure"....
Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet.

And yet you're wasting time answering polls. Poke tongue | ;-P

GeneralWhat Do I Really Think?memberW∴ Balboos25 Jun '12 - 9:41 
Assuming you care to care what I think (a leap of faith, indeed!), look at my "bio" (second paragraph) for a true expression of pride.
