Has programming changed your life?

Name: Anonymous 2007-08-15 22:19 ID:c5wUSfn+

I remember myself, back in the day i was a fool.
I didn't had patience, i never read manuals, i could not appretiate beauty.
While suffering from chronic insomnia, a friend msg's me about a good C book.
And it happends. i start reading that C book @ the nights i could not sleep, i took advantage of my insomnia.
My whole life changed after that.
I read manuals, rfcs, file formats and protocols.
I read about memory, processors, filesystems, bootloaders
I suddenly became a knowledge freak.
Learned lisp and then Haskell (i owe that to /prog/ btw.)
Also, i started learning mathematics and physics.
And to imagine, all that started (and still is) as a hobby!

I started juggling early in the mornings (like 6 am) and generally exercising.
I participate in many open-source projects and i teach programming/mathematics/physics to many people i know in real life OR over the internet

Sure, i still have a shitjob; I still have no girlfriend due to being closed to myself and very anti social, but programming gave value to my life, and gave an end to those endless nights.

What about you /prog/?

Mine actually had rooms and items and stuff. Still, it was crap. (And I used a GET$-based roll-your-own input thingy. Suck to the max.)

When I was a teenager I got hooked on technology and would stay up all night reading about C++, TCP/IP, and Linux.

Then I got a degree in computer science, then a job as a software developer.

Now there is no joy in technology for me. It has become a job. I don't spend any time learning fun for interesting things because they don't pay.

Try switching to weed. It's a lot easier to get inebriated at work without being fired.

Someone laced it with PCP. Try a different dealer or growing your own. If that doesn't work, just get some Xanax. hard withdrawal, that Xanax, though.

I got it in the fucking boondocks I don't think you can even get PCP where I was.

And it happened 2/4 times. I think my brain is just messed up.
