Programming love

Now that my laptop is out of order I can’t code anymore. I have this other computer where I am typing from, but I can’t develop from here for various reasons.  But I am feeling that fuzzy feeling on my fingertips, that inexplicable force inside to see "coded"  what I think. It must be pages like these that make this feeling grow inside. Give them a look. The first makes me wish I was writing a RESTful controller right now. The second makes me wish I was writing an app with roles just for the sake of using it. I think this is one of the greatest things the RubyOnRails movement is doing to the programming environment: increasing excitement about coding (even those parts that used to come directly from the Land of Boredom, like role-based authentication – can you even imagine writing a role-based authentication module in PHP?) and drawing attention to the theory of coding standards and practices. Its conventions bring culture in a world once invaded by PHP programmers that spread bad practices and bad products all over mainly because they were justified and helped by the close-to-flat PHP learning curve. Yay for Rails!
