What do you enjoy in programming?

1. solving a problem 2. solving it correctly :) 3. solving it elegantly 4. selling the solution to lazy people 5. spending the money on toys, beer, trips to the beach, baubles for my wife -c
Though the cough, hough and hiccough so unsought would plough me through, enough that I o'er life's dark lough my thorough course pursue. --Stuart Kidd

I enjoy being paid hard cash for doing something I find challenging, rewarding and fun - at the same time - and being given the responsibility to make and act on my own descisions. And as shallow as this may sound I also love being able to think "ha, I may earn less than you but at least I enjoy it".

Being able to create something that is my own. Being able to write a piece of decent software and actually say "I wrote this". I also enjoy learning about the language that I'm using and improving my skills.

Considering we live in a 2-bit world, it's at most three at a time. ;) Jeremy Falcon Imputek "C# is the answer to a question nobody asked." - Chris Losinger

SONORK ID 100.10024So how's that Sheep-Human crossbreeding simulation software going? Do you have a guess as to how many years it would take to produce a hybrid yet? ;P

Really? In this modern world of credit cards and loans, I thought everyone had it figured out. I for one am an expert on spending money that I'm going to earn later. With y'all on the reasons to enjoy programming though.
