By a piece of code you're writing that you're unable to convince your body to move to go for toilet breaks?

When I first started, yes. Not so much anymore.

Does coding ever get boring?
I've always wanted to be a programmer, even before I really knew what a programmer was and the thought of programming has always got me excited and now I've actually started doing it, I am really loving it, but does the excitement ever fade? Or do you just move onto another language?

I get like that form time to time. I was like that yesterday. I wrote some code, reviewed someone else's code, wrote some markup and CSS, put it all together and then looked at the clock. It was like 5:30 PM. Yeah, I get like that from time to time, but I try to limit those times.
As for getting bored... yeah. But I get bored with a lot of things, so I find ways to make them interesting again.

I've gotten bored with writing web applications. BUT! Lately I've found writing snippets and classes that could be useful to someone fun.
With web applications, it's not that i'm bored with CODING, but bored with the projects i'm working on.

Impulse, I'm like that too, not as much as feyd, but writing CSS can keep my preoccupied for hours at a time no problem, and I take an obsorbient amount of time up to learn PHP, OOP especially has bewitched me very much, I'm in University so I have time conflicts, especially with NCAA sports kicking me in the nuts from time to time, that is practice and what have you.
Its all about balance though, programming, is relaxing for me. An escape if you would.

if it's a project that i'm excited about then i'll do it and not stop for anything really. that is until i get really really frustrated. then i come back to it and figure it out and then i'm happy and on a roll again

I get really excited about working on a project but then after I've done all the problem solving bits and get into the repetitive bits (forms!) I get bored. So I leave it for 3-6 months and go back to it.
I'm learning Java now and really enjoying it because there's nothing repetitive because I've never done anything like it before.

I used to hate forms... until I started using Pear's HTML_QuickForm... hopefully some day I can use OSIS forms... but it's not finished yet.jayshields wrote:I get really excited about working on a project but then after I've done all the problem solving bits and get into the repetitive bits (forms!)
