        when after hours and hours of debugging you find the root of the bug in your code.

          Clear requirements, sane deadlines, reliable hardware and software, a reasonably free hand to admin his own machine, and time-and-a-half for overtime.

          When posting here, I do not represent anybody but myself.

              It's sort of ambivalent feeling, because finding your bug usually shows you, how stupid were you while writing this particular piece of code. Unless it's a bug of someone else of course :).

                              Every moment of struggle against the challenge of understand customers, design, code, find bugs, limited budget, etc., etc., the result I care less than each of these delicious moments of hard battle.

                                  It makes me happy to see what I consider to be a simple elegant snippet of code. For example, I wanted to generate morse code for a microcontroller and found a simple 26 byte array indexed by character with each byte describing the dots and dashes of morse for that character.

                                  73

                                      The tools to do a job and the authority to do what needs to be done. A job that is challenging and when done makes them better at their craft. Clear goals and a job that matters. I highly recommend "Drive" by Daniel Pink.

                                          A happy programmer is the one that does not need to program anymore. The happy programmer programs for fun on his own pace.
