So I was reading one of my favorite blogs today, and I came across this incredibly amazing, glorious, enlightening definition of programming.


Programming is all about knowing when to boil the orange sponge donkey across the Phillippines with an orangutan gorilla crossed with a ham sandwich to the fourth power of twelve across the Nile with an awful headache from the previous night when all of Alfred's naughty jalapeno peppers frog-marched the Nordic elves across the loom-lined Geronimo-induced swamp donkey over and above the Fortran fortified Kilamanjaro fence past the meticulously crafted anti disgusting sponge cake scenario where all the hats doth quoteth the milk which is not unlike the super werewolf from the infinite realm of ninja-step. It's hard to define, really.

That pretty much sums up what I've been thinking for years and haven't been able to put into words. I've been programming for nearly 20 years, and every day somebody throws me a curve ball, or an orange sponge donkey, and I have to try and make sense of it. I'm sure my golden years will involve a lot of therapy.
