There’s a breed of programmers around who just like making things harder for themselves, and are somehow good at it. It’s like being a competitive power lifter or something like that. More weight, more weight, and at some point you get excited by more weight.

You could also compare programming to riding a bicycle - almost anyone can learn how to do that. So, if you want to stand out, you have to ride a unicycle (=Rust) on a tightrope (=the Nintendo DS)...
