Just do it monkey-boy.
21st Century Digital Boy: A treatise on programming
This is very good. Almost any working geek will relate to this essay - well worth reading. Among the really good quotes:
As a friend of mine says, Programming is an art form that fights back. Sometimes stuff happens, and you just don't know why. Sometimes the big picture eludes the programmer because they weren't there when it was painted.
Sometimes programmers, and by that I mean professional ones who do nothing all day but write code, get themselves in a state where done is better than perfect.
And often you can't get a handle on the big picture because you don't have the time to read the whole code base, and you've just gotta get this one part to work again. The life of the maintenance programmer.
Read the whole thing, it's good.
