What else is there to do?
To modify the old joke,
God put me on Earth to write certain programs,
At this rate, I'll never die!
Or did you mean write programs for other people?

"5" if it is something fun. Latest DirectX-ish type of thing. Something that the world will never see or use. That is like reading a good book.
"1" if it is another drudge thingy that many will use and none appreciate the value that they have received. One must be paid for that hurt.
Oh, I am sooooo bitter!!

My answer is 5 ("yes"), but only for selected projects for friends or non-profit organizations.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, if it served the purpose of solving a problem at home or for a friend.

5: I believe that is how I got started in programming in the first place. I was doing construction and writing software for my own amusement at night. Drove my wife nuts until she suggested I do it for a living. It appears that was good advice. Thanks Dear.

5 (Yes) if it was a hobby
1 (No) if it was to put money on somebody else's pocket.

5 - Yes !
I started doing it as a job, because I was enjoying it so much as a hobby

In that case I would not do anything else. No bosses. No customers. No silly demands or requirements. What a dream.
A while ago he asked me what he should have printed on my business cards. I said 'Wizard'.
I read books which nobody else understand. Then I do something which nobody understands. After that the computer does something which nobody understands. When asked, I say things about the results which nobody understand. But everybody expects miracles from me on a regular basis. Looks to me like the classical definition of a wizard.

I know I am late, but I thought I will put my view as well.
Yes.
I want to be an ethical Hacker. So I just cant quit coding! 
Computer programming is an extraordinarily precise activity, be precise.

I voted 4. I love coding, but it's not the only thing I love to do. I love to sport, see a movie, read a book, etc. If I was supported for (which I wouldn't like, cause I'd have too much free time), I'd devide my time between my interests.

A cat dies, and arrives at Heaven. The Pearly Gates swing open, and God comes out: "You have been a good cat, and are welcome in Heaven" He proclaims. "Anything you desire is yours - just ask and ye shall receive!"
The cat thinks for a moment, and says "I was a farm cat, and slept on the ground, or a cold, hard floor. I would like to have a warm, comfortable cushion, if that's not too much trouble."
"This is Heaven. Nothing is too much trouble". God waves his hand and a cushion appears. The cat turns round a few times, puddles a bit and settles down with to a long, warm snooze as only a cat can.
The next day, a dozen mice die, and arrive at Heaven. The Pearly Gates swing open, and God comes out: "You have been good mice, and are welcome in Heaven" He proclaims. "Anything you desire is yours - just ask and ye shall receive!"
The mice go into a huddle, and eventually one of them repies "When we were alive, we were always being chased, and running like mad. Dogs chased us, and we ran. Cats chased us, and we ran. Women with brooms chased us, and we ran. We are sick of running. Can we have some roller skates, if that's not too much trouble?"
"This is Heaven. Nothing is too much trouble". God waves his hand and the mice are all on little, tiny roller skates. Delighted, they zoom off to explore Heaven.
The next day, God is doing His rounds, and passes the cat, which He gently wakes by stroking him. "Is everything perfect?" He asks. "Evertything!" the cat exclaims. "Everything is perfect! This cusshion is perfect, warm and soft and comfortable! And as for the meals on wheels you keep sending round..."

Ambergris?
Denizen of Hamberg = flesh(from ham) of an animal(from denizen)
rises to pleasant smell = perfume
of vomit = from mouth
after all these it was enough to get the word...Secretion of sperm whales...

Well, actually easier than that...
Denizen of - means found within.
Hamberg Rises
and Ambergris is whale vomit used in perfume.

Hey everyone,
I'm trying to test a simple application for security, how can I know where is the application is at now when I'm not allowed to set break points in the release mode "attaching to a process for example".. I keep getting:
Disassembly cannot be displayed in run mode.
Yes, I know, but any work around/another suggested disassembler that can?? Any good one you know about for .Net applications?? I need to test a commercial application we're launching now.
Many thanks!
