in reply to Code that feels good

scott,

If only I could give this more that one vote... At any rate, a hearty thumbs up on expressing so eloquently a feeling that I often get, both when writing code, and back when I actually worked in a lab. After stumbling around awhile, a little light clicks on, and I "get it". I imagine it is that way for many people.

A somewhat related quote (from whom, I can't remeber; anyone?) is something like "more real science|progress|discoveries begin with the phrase 'that's strange' than with 'Eureka!'". For me, plodding around is a necessary step.

Thanks,
Scott
