In a world gone mad..

i followed a link in another article leading me to this: Developers are from Mars, Programmers are from Venus. a lot of related articles are out there already. and i ignored this one at first for this reason. but waiting for some work-related stuff i found the time to read it.

let me add this: i think it’s not a bad thing if you sometimes go back to being a programmer. there are negative aspects of being a developer with the number one item being: it’s a different kind of game you’re playing and programming can be a lot more fun. of course you need to always be disclipined and come back to being a developer. to clean up the stuff you did while acting as the programmer. but boy, isn’t it fun to just hack away all night long trying out stuff and implementing ideas and adding new features wheter they are needed or not? i like that..

and yes, sure, as a developer it can be a lot of fun making things work, and pleasing your environment (organization or whatever). but it definitly is something else than what a programmer experiences if he just follows his path through the night..

anyway.. probably not really that important.. in the end i guess it comes down to work versus not work..
