I've always sympathized with Tyler Gaw's statements about why he codes:

Programming is a means to an end. I have ideas and want to see them come to life. I use code to make those ideas reality... I push myself to learn new languages, frameworks, and practices. No language is off limits

I feel like that's what this guy is saying too. And, for what it's worth, that's how I feel about coding myself. It's a way for me to express ideas I have.
