Code Jam Weekend
So I just had a 4 day long weekend. We got Rememberance Day off, as well as an extra day for the winter break.
I look back and ask though, what weekend?
That’s right, it’s crunch time for me with 2 very large projects due on the same day at the end of the month. This weekend has turned into a code jam weekend, essentially it meant me and my teammate Mylore jamming on code in my bedroom for 4 days. Everyday has been a 10 hour day of staring, spitting out, and digesting computer code to get our project done.
To be quite honest, I really didn’t mind it. I enjoy programming. There’s nothing like the 3 seconds of exhilaration after spending an hour to fix a bug. Okay, that sounds terrible… but I do enjoy it once I get into it.
However, it is a mentally draining process. After such long sessions, I wonder if I will have the stamina to do this for the next 10/15/20 years of my life. I can only hope that my business aspirations will carry me enough to feed me later, and then I will only have to program for enjoyment and not for my livelihood.
