The mark of a mature programmer is willingness to throw out code you spent time on when you realize it's pointless.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The trouble with programmers is that you can never tell what a programmer is doing until it's too late.
Even though I had the talent, programming just didn't feel right. I never considered it very seriously. Some people get gratification from bending a machine to their will. I didn't.
Most good programmers do programming not because they expect to get paid or get adulation by the public, but because it is fun to program.
Programmers can be lazy.
And, I think that is actually appropriate because I'm really not the world's best programmer, I think it's a good thing that I'm not touching the code.
When you learn to code, it opens up for you to learn many other things.
Not that being so mature is a bad thing, but there are times to be mature and there are times to be loose.
Even when I think I'm writing really young, they say it's too mature.
I know I felt like I was ready to be an adult long before the rest of the world agreed. I'd already realized that a lot of grown-ups didn't know any more than I did, and some of them were even dumber than I was, and even the ones who were smarter weren't using their smarts for things I necessarily considered worthwhile.
The three chief virtues of a programmer are: Laziness, Impatience and Hubris.
