Interesting how college ruined your love for programming

it was probably the general pressure and depression.

and work got it back

the costumers and the colleague were nice people. I enjoyed solving actual real-life problems.

Studying Computer Science constantly fed me with new interesting ideas, and I still had more time to play around with those ideas.

after my first job, I went back to college (uni?) to get my masters. There I had lots of fun implementing some of the theoretical stuff.
