law of code #1:

"if you are a coder, you will write code..."

quite insignificant are these refrains:

whether you do it for for free or for money...
whether you release free software or are locked in a proprietary prison...
whether you are a professional, amateur, weekend HTML junkie, or hobbiest...
whether you code hardcore assembler, high level compiled, scripts or sql...

if you are a programmer, you will write code.
