Do you enjoy programming or do you see it as a means to an end (start a business)?
noodle: nothing in and of itself is enjoyable to me.i can have lots of fun programming, and also absolutely no fun.  it depends on what i'm doing and why.  same thing with reading.  same thing with sports.  same thing with anything.edit: also, zombie thread http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=515463edit2: beatten by amichail
