wooo! comp-sci dropout! I heard way too many of you describe the kind of code that gets written under deadlines and client demands. Programming is fun, why would I want to ruin it by turning it into work?

This happened to me. I did a couple years of Java web dev work right out of high school from 2001 to 2003. I used to love programming, but doing it full time completely ruined it for me. After all this time, I still haven't even done more than start and immediately delete projects.
