House of Rails

Motivation

Sometimes it is difficult to find the necessary drive to complete tasks. That doesn’t happen to me when I code. When I get started with an idea or a project, I’m fully immersed. I like to think of it as a coding high. When I’m in the zone, writing remarkably precise and efficient code. It’s a wonderful and beautiful thing.

Coding gives me energy. I find that by coding, I am able to find things that would seem otherwise mundane, fun. The thrill of going beyond my limits and learning a new skill. It just puts me in a good mood.

I find coding to be extraordinarily soothing. There is nothing quite like being lost in a piece of code. When the world falls silent and all that remains are my code and me. It’s a zen like moment, and I have come to appreciate it more and more.
