Excerpt from: Why do I like programming
In the course of the review, I read one of the most sympathetic words in my book: Joel's talk about why fairness is important to programmers.
I do not know other people's situation, I like programming, the big reason is that the program of the world more fair and impartial, who is wrong, just run the code to know. This is very different from the real world, in the real world, as long as you have the right to money, good at interpersonal relations and drilling system loopholes, you can put the wrong to say the right, the black to white. Honest, hard-going people, helplessly watching the universe upside down, Xiaorendezhi, and can only be helpless, helpless.
The country we live in is a country that forbids free thinking and the party decides everything. Here, if you want to not lie, do bad things, and be treated fairly, then maybe you can only program.
Frankly speaking, as long as more than two people stay together, there will be politics. It's natural. The real meaning of "no politics", I say, is "not to engage in vicious politics". Programmers have long been trained to have very good judgment of justice. The code can either run or not. There's no point in sitting there arguing about the code, because you can run the code, and the answer is natural. The Code of the world is very fair and also very strict and orderly. A lot of people choose to program, the first reason is that they would rather spend their time in a fair and orderly place, a strict ability to the next place, a as long as you are right to win any argument of the place.
I quite agree with the point above, which is why I like programming.
