+
+Why do others code? For some people, it's because it's their job. It's how they get paid and put food on the table.
+
+For me, it's become the opposite. I code because I enjoy it. Perhaps when I first started, I did it for work. But as the years have gone by, it's become fun—almost therapeutic now.
+
+However, this doesn't mean coding isn't hard or frustrating. Suffering is part of any profession. But I enjoy and embrace the highs and lows.
+
+It's the difference between a writer who writes for a living versus a writer who writes for him or herself. I've reached the latter stage—or what people might call the "coding nirvana." I take pleasure in what I do nowadays, and I'm extremely grateful for that.
