Why do I program?

Here's a quote from Revenge of the Nerds

Anthony Edwards' character is helping a girl at the computer, she's frustrated and calls the computer inhuman.

"It's not inhuman. Only humans can be inhuman. Here, let me show you. Working with a computer's great. I mean, it's godlike, in a way, cos you can have complete control... You know, some people, they can create with their hands. But when you're working with a computer, you gotta build something with your mind. If you're good, you can do somethin' no one's ever seen before. It's a definite high."
