the computer science students
as requested by @a-vintage-soul
pacing around your room, trying to work out a difficult bug
messy hair tucked back behind your ears
thick textbooks and multicolored highlighters
a battered old computer bag that holds everything you need
loving puzzles, the moment of understanding when it all fits together
late nights with your face illuminated by the glow of a computer screen
redoing the same problem again and again until it’s efficient as possible
the soft click of computer keys
pride in what you’ve created, the thousands of lines of code a testament to your hard work
ideas scribbled in blue pen
your favorite mug, tea-stained and always on your desk
colored LED lights decorating your room with a soft glow
being frustrated by bad web design because you know you could do better
getting sucked in by a challenge and losing track of time
a photo of Ada Lovelace, framed on your desk
wrapping yourself in your favorite blanket
learning as many programming languages as possible, loving the versatility of your skill-set
background music playing through headphones
seeing the impact of your work on the real world
glasses slipping down your nose as you work
the satisfaction of figuring out something particularly complex
deep, intent focus
