How does one become a successful programmer without Air?

I really like the art of geomancy for this kind of analysis, as it contains a comprehensive map of what every combination of elements is like. There are sixteen cases: no elements, just fire, just air, fire and air, just water, fire and water, etc., all the way up to fire and air and water and earth. Consequently, there are eight kinds of ways one can be a successful programmer without air! ;) Indeed, air is very double-edged: it's presence lends a discriminatory quality that can be helpful in analysis; but it's also very scattered, which can prevent depth.

As it happens, I tend towards a purely-watery mode, which in geomancy is called "Albus", meaning "white" and representing "purity". It's perhaps the most beneficial for theoretical understanding as it's the most deeply reflective and contemplative of the combinations; it's also pretty awful for putting that theory into practice since it only cares about learning. So while I have a tremendous strength, I needed to shore up that weakness with the help of others for my business to be successful.
