I have the advantage of not being a programmer; I write code to achieve something that I want, or that will allow me to answer a question that I want to answer. As the questions vary, so does the choice of language, which is why code-wize, I'm a jack-of-all-trades and, indeed, master of none. For me the questions are often biological. How do we measure if two genes are doing the same thing? How can we we analyse 10,000's of genes at once? How can we describe the chromosomes that we see down a microscope? Of course, you could ask how I find the motivation to answer these questions; can't tell you that one. I can't understand how anyone could *not* be interested in how life, how they themselves, work. So, more generally, my answer is, I care about what my code does; without this, for me, it's solving a crossword puzzle.
