Programming Motivation

Hey /prog/

I haven't programmed much at all in a while, and I'm feeling down. I want to get back in the mood for programming.

Do you guys have any motivational videos/speeches/articles related to programming? I'd love some of that

You misunderstood.  I've actually been a codemonkey who earned a steady paycheck (a nice one, too), and I found the coding-on-deadline environment to be needlessly stressful and unrewarding. 

if your main motivation is a paycheck, you will seriously dislike your job and eventually programming.  The monkey loses his will to dance...

here's something to code, OP:
make a program that clicks on ads.  I need it to Google search, navigate to the target web page among the listings, then act like a genuine visitor that clicks on my ads.  The IP address needs to be unique every time and traffic to the site needs to steadily increase so that it does not look suspicious to Google.

If you take this on, you will have a useful program that can be used for fun or profit.  You'll also program in several different programming languages (the portable command and control server will run Linux and have Python).
