Cognitive dissonance and intuition.

Sure seems that way, especially given the kind of work a lot of those bugmen tend to put out. One of the few regrets I have is abandoning computer programming a little too casually after spending years learning it.

It's just that I feel like the IT world has totally lost its mind, sales work is way easier to get and I frankly find doing business with people way less stressful than programming computers.
-
I'm transitioning out of the IT world myself. I never did programming, though I dabbled a little in it. It's not just the stress: Most of it is mindless monotony. Most programming is just as bad from what I've found out.

Really? The opposite case seems more straightforward to me — that nothing specific to programming means anything universally, but only within the correct set of artificial standards.

I can see that mindset working in userland programming where you're working within other people's APIs. I was used to bare metal programming where I was dealing with hardware logic gates and registers directly, requiring manipulation of universal mathematical forms.

But even in machine language, changing hardware will change what works.

The same forms recur across all languages.The big issue is translating it between the different language implementations. Tail recursion in SWI-Prolog, for example, compiles to what is effectively a basic C for loop.
