What’s programming like?

I came across this http://www.independentdeveloper.com/archive/2009/03/17/programming-is-like-a-dream” target=”_blank”>Independant Programmer article (via http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/jeffs/Default.aspx” target=”_self”>Jeff’s SQL Server Blog) which tries to explain what it is like In The Zone for a programmer.

It even neatly describes an interrupt routine (boom boom) for non-programmer types, like your boss, to use when they need to get in the way. Possibly worth forwarding on to the higher ups who are prepared to take on a little personal development (or HR management).
