Random Thoughts on programming

-Programming is not rocket science.In my view it requiries moderate problem solving skills and ability to map your thought to the language you use.Its very similar to school maths,the "toughest" part is to learn all those
axioms and formulae(read as syntax and built-in libraries).Once you understand then you should learn to custom use them for your specific problem.And you keep doing that(aka "practice"),you becomes a "good" programmer.
-Usually we see music,art and litreture as the "real" creative work,and i feel like programming is the art of left brain. Its a kind of poem of reasoning.
-we have electronic hobbiest who may not make nobel winning devices ,but for sure making funny little devices that works is kind of relaxing activity which gives our brain some engagement with enjoyment.I feel making small programs gives a similar kind of joy to me.The joy which we feel after making the beautiful sand castle at river bed(in kerala we have wet river beds with lot of sand but
little water in summer!).
