Power of Programming

There are many things great actually doing programming.

I will list them here.

In the beginning, you are learning.

You might be learning for 5 years or so.

I finished school in 2023 but only around the end of 2025, is when I peaked and settled.

In 2025, I noticed I got annoyed and bothered at programming.

Sometimes I would forget things here and there because I stopped caring … and would have to go back in and read what I did and pick it up.

To get this far is tremendous.

Most of your life you are learning new concepts.

But when you get annoyed and don’t really care is the marker to when you are a programmer and wow, your life is complete!

I restarted programming in 2014 really and it took me until 2025 to feel ‘whatever’.

…

The cool thing of programming is that learning.

1. Learning new concepts
2. Sleuthing
3. Away from the world
4. Going non-linear
5. Don’t bother with people
6. Away from people
7. Parents and siblings don’t understand
8. Friends don’t understand
9. Close Friends don’t understand
10. Old Close Friends don’t understand
11. No one understands
12. You go away
13. You go further away
14. You go further away on tangents
15. You enjoy programming and going on your way
16. You go so far away you realize you are the only one willing to go do stuff
17. You go so far away you realize you are the only one willing to go do stuff like this
18. You are the only one with the specialized experience
19. People fight you and compare you then they realize you are doing specialized projects that takes passion and everyone gives up
20. Figuring out that later this is the way of the world

…

So it took a Vietnamese monkey from the jungle given a computer to do this. Other established races have been programming since the 1970’s. They got comfortable and they never thought a monkey from Southeast Asia would program such a thing and specialize in it and do it.

…

Outsiders make fun of you thinking you don’t code for big projects and for big companies.

Then people realize you are:

1. The glue of the operation
2. Act in a way that is team spirit to push out product
3. You are part of the sauce in the team
4. People realize this is so specialized that it requires passion and time.

…

But because you are you, you take into account naysaying, talk and see eye-to-eye.

But it really requires work too. Someone else can do this too.

Maybe someone else could copy and revival the entire projects?

Don’t be so sure of yourself as all this could be nothing tomorrow.

…

Do not have an ego doing this.

It is just an activity that puts you away from linear society in the West.

There are bigger projects worth considering.

The projects are just fun projects at the end. No real $$$ value.
