			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>And this is why:</p>
<blockquote><p>
<strong>You&#8217;re a Doer.</strong><br />
You are very quick at getting tasks done. You believe the outcome is the most important part of a task and the faster you can reach that outcome the better. After all, time is money.</p>
<p><strong>You like coding at a Low level.</strong><br />
You&#8217;re from the old school of programming and believe that you should have an intimate relationship with the computer. You don&#8217;t mind juggling registers around and spending hours getting a 5% performance increase in an algorithm.</p>
<p><strong>You work best in a Solo situation.</strong><br />
The best way to program is by yourself. There&#8217;s no communication problems, you know every part of the code allowing you to write the best programs possible.</p>
<p><strong>You are a Conservative programmer.</strong><br />
The less code you write, the less chance there is of it containing a bug. You write short and to the point code that gets the job done efficiently.</p></blockquote>
<p>I&#8217;m a web developer, so the way I interpret the &#8216;Low level&#8217; part is that I want to know what my PHP code does (through profiling and such), what actions my browser takes when I do something with javascript, and that I (for instance) use a packet sniffer when I really want to know what HTTP-requests are doing (very handy for ajax debugging).</p>
<p>I actually don&#8217;t think of myself as conservative. I like to try new stuff, be a bit adventurous, find new techniques to provide solutions, but in doing that I&#8217;ll always keep in mind that the end product needs to be well-performing, well-maintainable and, indeed, consisting of concise code.</p>
