I am new to programming and I am wondering what am I gonna get after I'll be a good programmer.I've read that you can build new applications all that,but can you please tell me personally what you've really got and how do you enjoy programming.

Carpal tunnel and waning social skills.

A new foundation of how to pleasantly tell people to fuck off.........

The 24/7 love and admiration of hot chicks around the globe.

Or not.

[modi123_1]

Chicks.. tons of chicks... the ability to highly function at odd hours... the passion for odd sciencey knowledge (like leap seconds and solar flare cycles) to explain why a process failed to the "normies". An appreciation of my own strong personal musk after breaking from a fifty-six hour code-a-thon. An collection of many leather-bound books, and my apartment smells of rich mahogany. A deep and glowing tan of a big kahuna... the body of an Adonis.

Women (read: Woman, but others dig me too).
Money.
Cars.
Knowledge.

To be fair, the first is a consequence of the latter items, rather than a direct result of programming.

Addiction to caffeine.

High cholesterol, high blood pressure, yellow-bronze teeth, and an addiction to coffee. At least that's what I have from staying up finish school projects.

Oh, and don't forget the anxiety attacks in public/crowded/put on-the-spot locations from being inside and coding all the time.

Well, second and maybe third. I bet most people would be willing to overlook a lack of knowledge for a thick wad and a bitchin' set of wheels. Hell, it worked on my sister-in-law (RIP).

I, too, do it for the chicks.

And the fat wads of cash.

• The respect and admiration of my peers and colleagues.
  
• Ever worsening handwriting.
  
• Increasing preference to seclusion.
  
• More motivation to go to the gym.
  
• An ever growing appreciation for the power of sleep, or when lacking, naps.

The 'chicks' here being you, the 11 year old and the 9 year old?

[BenignDesign]

Yeah. Pretty much.

You make a very good point.

I do however have no idea what a Lesbaru is, unless you mean this:

A late model Subaru, typically a wagon, seen being driven by a woman

Ha, woman!
