It's definitely an art form. And with technology. And useful. And solving problems.
But in the end it's an art form. If writing an edulcorated light teen love novel is an art, writing an inteligent, useful and practice code wich solves someone's problem is better art

Not an art - the craft! For me the art is like a "designer furniture" - beautiful, but not comfortable. exceptionally designed but not for daily use.
I see myself more a craftsman than an artist. My work is well done if users can't notice it. They can do their job and the software helps them do it efficiently.

Good point. Actually I see myself like both, artist and craftman. The artist part is wich feels proud of myself when I do something nice, when the code is "goodlooking", and the craftman part is that you describe, the one who feel well when the final product works perfect (or good at least) and really helps the user

I agree with "craftsman". but "beautiful, but not comfortable. exceptionally designed but not for daily use." not at all. that 's "modern art"!!  art is beautiful, is comfortable, maybe exceptionally designed and is for daily use IMHO.

This is a test, right? Or is it a joke?

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

where can i apply for the job with the hot actress?
What's about a office like the one in the movie "the wolf of wallstreet" every evening party with hot girls and a lot of beer

It's an art form  Whatever you think, you can make it possible. Believe me nothing is impossible!

I guess that's why there's so many bad software developers! Communication (yes, interaction with people!) is one of the most important aspects of my job!
The client has a problem and I know what's technically possible, so I may think of a solution.
My boss doesn't like my technical talk, my clients like it even less and I still have to convince both that my solution might actually work!
And once I 'sold' the solution to management I have to tell my colleagues how we're going to solve this problem technically.
Communication is probably the hardest part of my job. And unfortunately the hardest part of other peoples jobs too.
People die because of mis-interaction with people (especially in the technical field)!
Does anyone remember that rocket with people in it that exploded because some programmers used metric while others used imperial?
They probably liked the part about their job where they didn't need to interact with other people...
It's an OO world.

I get to do all that communication stuff through e-mail, the Visual Studio Online Scrummy thingy, Lync and when there's really no choice, by phone.

I have been getting the same number of surveys and it is annoying me now. I need to get a survey, that I might want to get attentive while answering.

... this would be the best job in the world.
On the other hand, I get paid to play with computers all day. How cool is that?

I like coding for all users (even the one who dont read the messages boxes), because I really know my useful software helps them and they enjoy and like our companies product line.

Nah, it's not users, it's managers and budget limits. Without managers and with an infinite budget, I am quite sure that I could meet the needs of every user.

Exactly. At 52, I'm still doing what I was doing when I was 15. (Well, generally speaking.)
