I am fundamentally lazy. I hate wasting key-strokes (I get borderline offended when a tool-dev decides "I ain't coding short-opts, you have to use long-opts if you want to specify this tool-option"). I hate repeating myself. Coding was a great way to avoid wasting key-strokes.
Basically, my start into regular coding pretty much came with a classmate introducing me to TCSH and its command-history editing capability (and, for more-permanence, dumping history to files and then creating scripts from those). Carried over in my switch to KSH and then BASH ...and acted as a good foundation for moving into "real" languages.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
