    the bulk of what you write won't really shine until you rewrite it anyway so don't be precious with it. Solve the problem and move on.

Interesting how this advice works for coding, too.

...it's almost as if coding were a creative endeavor. ;-)

...but... but managers and professors have told me that you shouldn't want to code because all of the creative work is in system analysis! Coders can just be outsourced to India, right??? It's just gruntwork!!

I guess that's what I get for going to college in the United States of Managers and Lawyers. I think eventually the US wants to just manage the rest of the worlds resources and people through wealth. As if we already didn't have a disconnect between employees and managers, eventually they want to push their employees out to different countries so they don't even have to know what they look like.

Management is insufferable everywhere, but that particular problem only happens where programming is a support role and you look like a very expensive janitor to them.
