Any coders/programmers/hackers out here?
I don't know, I think INFPs make the best programmers (if we dedicate ourselves to one project
N - We see the high level picture; we're not stuck on the details, we don't write nested for loops and if statements, we don't write spaghetti code, specifically because we can't understand it. We create abstractions not necessarily because we're unusually smart, but because that's the only way for us to grok things.
F - We care about how the code feels when you read it, we care about how users feel when they use the product, we want to optimize for happiness -- something that code monkeys can never do.
P - Programming is Art, or at least that's how we see it. We like to explore, we're likely to be using new tools and be at the fore front of technology while the rest are still stuck with their C++ and Java.
I was (and still am) into so many things outside the mainstream. I was following D when everyone was happy with their java, I was writing websites in python when everyone was doing it in php, heck, I'm starting to learn lisp/arc just because I read Paul Graham babbling about it a lot.
I'm surprised to find may programmers who think sticking with "standards" and "best practices" is what we all outta be doing. I find that doing that takes away all the fun.
