I'm an artist and a programmer. I have studied both disciplines in depth. It's a lot of extra work, but what that affords me is a great deal flexibility. I never have to depend on another programmer to build a tool for me. I never have to wait for another artist to get work done for me. I can write my own tools, shaders, exporters and importers. I'd never claim to be a programming guru, but I feel that for what I do (video games) I've found a nice mix. I think that combining my skills make me more valuable to a company and I have a higher level of satisfaction than before.

I'm always excited to see new OSes. Maybe this is another OS to add to my quad boot machine!
