In our daily lives, we strive for quality in what we do. We cook aiming to make delicious food; we build to produce something durable and attractive. When I program, I aim to produce something of high quality: Performant, readable, simple, and reliable.

We also get drunk and do stupid things. Some of us also enjoys reading obscure poetry. Or listen to brain dead No Wave-music or spends two hours listening to this new awesome Japanese records played on two spoons. That's not 'attractive' or 'simple' or anything else that would fit into your hipster life in that black/white attic of yours, listening to 'hip' music and drinking that fabulous red wine (which probably sucks) and enjoying the shit out of your Good Life (tm)

The same applies for code.

Wow, let's hear it for being judgmental!
