> But when you get it to work, it's magic. When you get "a = a + 1" to work, and know that where 1 line of code works, 10000 lines of code will work, it's an amazing feeling. You just build the things a piece at a time, testing all the way.

This is it right here. Ever since I started dipping into this stuff, it's been one of the most intoxicating drinks for me in all of programming. You just get a few little pieces working, and then you know you've created infinite permutations of working programs. Each feature you implement is another infinity of possibilities. There's nothing quite like it.
