Looks like my latest depression flare up has calmed down a bit. Got some personal code written yesterday and some stuff for work today.

I very much enjoy writing code. I noticed recently that, for me, it maps quite well to the image of someone in their shed/basement building an enormous model railway; an endless project that could easily seem pointless to an observer, but one that helps the participant gain a sense of peace/balance.

I like the simplicity of programming. I like knowing that, so long as I follow the rules, the outcomes are known and predictable. I like building a big, complex mechanism and then watching it chug along happily under it's own power.
