Very nice. I totally agree. The reason why I picked up programming in the first place is not to become an 'uber geek', but simply to build cool things.

Apparently this same sentiment is held by Zuckerberg as well in his code.org video. "It didn't start off as this mission to learn all of Computer Science, but rather build something cool that me and my sisters could use."
