I count cursor positions and you'll most likely find me reading and writing numbers from bottom up...with unreadable signs in the middle. Sometimes I get the solution while eating or sleeping and I JUST have to make the change, compile and run!
This is me in my habitat. I love it. Most od mt friends ask me why I don't apply for more managerial positions. Truth is, now with ten years of coding under my belt, I am even more passionate about it. The tons of emotions I go through as I do it is exactly what I need to feel productive.
I enjoy my the flexibility my work affords me. I can put in four hours of work when I can't sleep then only have to come to the office for four hours. I do not like explaining my work. That's what the Business Analyst does. I code.
