in reply to Permanence and Programming as a "craft"

Some others may say that programming is the black art of our time, but in my eyes its a craft. You have so much wonderful possibilitys as a programmer today. But the important part is not how long a programm lasts it is it's inner beauty. The purity of the source the elegant flow of the code, its what good programming is made of.
Personally i'm not yet really good at programming. Most things i do are quick and dirty hacks but i try to learn and while i learn my programs will get more complex and hopefully will once be under the cathedrals of programming ;-)
