I love watching hockey games because it’s a chance to watch experts be awesome at something they love doing. The players don’t even have to think about skating; their legs just move naturally. Forward, backward, sideways, turnarounds, instant stops – their feet just naturally carry them. They are so comfortable. When they run out on the ice, it’s like, “I’ve done this a million times before, let’s go do it again, this is nothing.” As they skate around, they make these minor adjustments to their gear, and they stretch out, and they skate around, until everything is comfortable and just right.
And they love what they’re doing. They’re having fun and they’re completely focused on the game. This is a skill that took them a lifetime to master. They’re good at it and they know it. It’s their thing.
So yeah that’s sort of what programming is like for me.
