A happy programmer

[Matthew Graybosch]

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.

...which opens a doorway to the new universe of bugs ;)

[Petr Pohl]

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 :).

When that happens, Programing = Art. :)

[elgaabeb]

yes, I think this is the final stage before moving to managerial and commercial stage :)

[Fran Porretto]

For myself?

• Stable requirements;
• A clean development environment;
• Absolutely no interference from management!

(This message is programming you in ways you cannot detect. Be afraid.)

Why did you post this in the "Hall of Shame"?

[Ayobami Adewole]

It think when my code runs as intended

[Andre Gardiner]

A happy program. :laugh: But I guess, the very best stable program. ;)

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.

A happy client...

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.

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. Or, if you're in a hurry check out the video from RSA Animate. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6XAPnuFjJc[^]http://www.danpink.com/drive[^] -JimR

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