Perhaps the glass is just twice as large as it needs to be?

Why do I love programming?

Imagine that you need a hammer.

You write down on a piece of paper, what a hammer is and how it is supposed to operate and behave.

VOOM!

Once you finish writing, you find that you have a hammer. You can copy that hammer as many times as you like, to give them to other people, keep backup hammers in the shed, modify copies to operate slightly differently etc.

That’s programming.

I feel like a wizard.
