sheer brilliance (re-dot from mathewm)

I just saw this on Digg, but it bears repeating.
I have always shied away from calling myself a "programmer" because I hate programming. On my resume I refer to myself as a "problem solver" because solving problems is what I love to do.
Quoted: Programmers don’t like coding, they like problem solving.
Though, I have learned there are ways to learn a problem domain besides rewriting the code from scratch.

Hm, interesting. I actually like reading other peoples code. Though the way I 'read' it is often by unit testing and refactoring (or when I'm being lazy, running it and putting in breakpoints and print statements), so I write code to read code, I guess.
Of course sometimes I'm like "argh, who wrote this ugly stuff? <delete, delete>"
For sure, the best workdays are the ones where I take a pad of graph paper and my red, blue, and black pens down to the Panera next to my office and spend a few hours sketching out pie-in-the-sky ideas for how to do some new task. And once I have the design down, I trudge back to the office for countless days of implementation and debugging. Not so much fun.
yes, I completely agree. I like to spend as much time on the graph paper part as possible.
