Answer 3

Why do you code ?

》Computer programming is a type of passion.
》The pleasure it gives after facing tons of error and making the best ever program.
》Also it is so passionate that the programmer stays 3 days straight without sleep until program has been done.
》If you do for earning. ..then you are wrong.... Steve jobs, the apple co-founder never developed apple for money or business. It was his passion that drove him to make a Huge APPPLE. INC.

Answer 7

Complex question for me. I started out not wanting to code!

I was obliged to take an introductory class on scientific programming for my MSc in biotechnology. The lecturer just wasn't well suited for demonstrating concepts to beginners. I started resenting the subject and couldn't see the practical applications as a biologist.

How wrong I was. After I chose to give it a second chance via independently learning at my own pace, I grew to love it. I'm mostly enjoying making little games at the moment, but I do have some more advanced projects that will help me with processing data from my lab work. I feel addicted now to automation, and I can't get enough. My eyes have been opened to a field I had no idea I was missing out on for so many years

Answer 8

It's my passion. I like to create something useful. I enjoy the process of creation so much that sometimes it's hard for me to stop. I like the feeling that I get when my project is finished. I'm happy to be a programmer.
Interesting projects, good people, decent money - that is all I need 😀

Answer 9

First I started coding because I found that it was a well paid job, but when some time pass I realize that I totally felt in love with it, and now I code for the pleasure.

Answer 10

Obviously because I'm an IT Student but to me, the reason i code is because it gives me a challenge and whenever i succeeded to accomplish my goals in a certain project. It feels like, you've done something good in your LIFE with your own efforts! :) Coding is fun! Nakakagigil lang minsan :D
