Thanks for writing this. I think it is important for seniors in this field to share their passion in programming with many of us. Working as one of only two programmers in a small company, sometimes I find myself asking if I'm doing the right thing as I get so little feedback in terms of the actual programming process and passion. Most people in the usual company departments like finance and production are just interested in what you produce but cannot understand the why, which makes it quite frustrating.

Thank you for sharing.
