How to Make a Geek Feel Good
Here's something that makes a geek feel really, really good:
- Spend a weekend slaving over a hot keyboard writing code that's been in your head since at least 1999.
- Get it mildly, barely working.
- Show it to two people you respect and have both say to you, almost immediately, "I Want It".
- Know that since it's GPL'd (or will be once it's not version 0.0001.a.Sunday.Morning.AfterBreakfast) it will get some level of wide distribution.
I feel good.
Comment: Sorry for all the really short entries over the past 2 days but I'm in hard core code grind (the scenario above is a) real and b) just happened to me) and can't break free to write anything longer right now but I have some good stuff planned for the plane flight to OSCON.
