Joy of Hacking
Coding a simulation forces a programmer to ponder unexpectedly many issues. God is in the details. One might go so far as to assert that a person doesn’t fully understand something until they’ve written a simulation of it --- a precept which has the perhaps too übergeekly corollary that non-programmers don’t fully understand anything!

We're all potentially programmers making simulations.
I didn't quite get that... is that good or bad?
