Coding is Art

Programmers are sometimes a difficult bunch to work with. I'm no better.

We fancy ourselves as uber-logical like Spock and uber-analytical like Data from Start Trek and Star Trek TNG respectively (we also revel in a little nerdification mixed in for good measure).

Truth be told we are much more like van Gogh than we care to admit. Idealistic, anxious, frustrated, and misunderstood.

But honestly, when you think of individuals (real or imagined) with boat loads of talent who comes to mind? Spock or van Gogh? The tragedy of the talented?
