"I love those moments when you can just lose yourself in the code, the implementation just flowing from your brain to the screen. Those moments when you try something tricky and it works, or when you find a well-hidden bug and stomp it."

"I love programming. I enjoy being able to create something meaningful from just lines on a screen. I enjoy being able to use my knowledge to bring a piece of software to life even if it is something as simple as printing out 'Hello World' on the screen."
