It's about more than technology

According to Larry Wall, the original author of the Perl programming language, there are three great virtues of a programmer; Laziness, Impatience and Hubris.

  • Laziness: The quality that makes you go to great effort to reduce overall energy expenditure. It makes you write labor-saving programs that other people will find useful and document what you wrote so you don't have to answer so many questions about it.
  • Impatience: The anger you feel when the computer is being lazy. This makes you write programs that don't just react to your needs, but actually anticipate them. Or at least pretend to.
  • Hubris: The quality that makes you write (and maintain) programs that other people won't want to say bad things about.
My first technology job came about because I was all of those as well as insatiable tinkerer. In 1988, I was working in a clerical position when our office got brand new computers and a lot of software but we didn't seem to do anything with it all. I changed that and was called into my bosses office. I thought I was going to be reprimanded for messing around when I should have been filing and answering the phones. In reality, I was being transferred into the IT group and that was the start of it all.

Since that time, I've designed, deployed, and managed global data networks, Internet security platforms, in house web applications, as well as project manager to numerous large scale infrastructure projects with multimillion dollar budgets.
