This was a post on another blog I have, but it was soooooo funny I want to share it again:

I entered a programming contest today. My first. +POP+

Those of you who weren't completely grossed out by that please continue reading:

It was a weird experience. I felt like a whore. I was coding for money. Correction: I was coding for the chance at money. I felt like I was turning a trick on the computer. I was turning coffee and snacks into useful, fun programs. What a weird transformation.

Moreover if I do win this thing it will be sweet because:

a.) it will be the first time I ever won a contest

b.) the first time I've made money by programming

c.) in line with 'b' it will probably signal that this is a decent career path that I've chosen [Unqualified opinion, I am still in college]

If only Dad paid more attention to me I wouldn't be coding around this pole... Well, all coders can't have high self esteem, am I right? Slip that twenty over here. I'll earn it.


KYA out.
