Losing Myself in the Code

You know, about the only thing that I really enjoy about IT anymore is writing code.  I'm pretty good at a wide spectrum of IT tasks, from system admin and setup to application development, but the only part of it that brings me joy is writing code.  Funny, I used to be the other way around - I'd rather have spent hours on a server issue or router, but these days I find myself loathing that type or work. 

It's possible that I just enjoy what I'm better at.  I know that in the past few years I've concentrated more on development and less on admin, and I know that my admin skill set is rusty.  It might also just be that writing code is simply the best creative outlet that I have right now.

Today I am back into SPINreg.org, and I'm seriously enjoying myself.

I am kind of the opposite right now. I would rather be working on network issues and having personal interactions with others than sitting in front of the computer all day and writing code. Of course, it could just be that I am tired of writing Uniface code. Hopefully with the learning of C# that I am currently doing will allow me to go somewhere else and work on more interesting code. ::shrugs:: We will see.
