Programming Meditations

Does /prog/ ever meditate about programming related subjects? I came on the idea to repeat "eval/apply" during medition, i didnt really try it yet though.

Yes, today I was meditating on what the Futamura's Fourth Projection would be.

I have a morning ritual that I need to share. I call it 'the sussman'. First I crouch down in the shower in the classic 'I put on my robe and wizard hat' pose. With my eyes closed I crouch there for a minute, visualizing either Sussman or Abelson and I start to hum the SICP theme. Then I slowly rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me to proceed through my day as an emotionless EXPERT PROGRAMMER. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my sussman leg. It ruins the fantasy.
