Coding Bliss

Today I had a chance to mostly code. To be more precise, I had a long meeting and it seems like I drove half the country and back again, but I finally got a chance to really code. By really code I mean that I coded something that I own. I build, maintain and responsible for. This mean that (nearly) all the design decisions are made by me (for better or worse, of course).

I last worked with this code base about 6 months ago, and I was happy to realize that while I had a few “Huh?” moments, and several “I know a better way to do it now!” moments, I have yet to find a “WTF?!” piece of code there. I haven’t touch the UI bits yet, so there is still hope for that, I guess.

For the last several months it looked like I was constantly working on other people’s code. Either mentoring / consulting or just short projects that took several days to complete, and do not really count. I missed the feeling of facing the mountain of code and beating it into the shape that I wanted it to be.
