A happy programmer

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.

when after hours and hours of debugging you find the root of the bug in your code.
feeling of creating something,, or contributing something worthy enough makes me a happy one..

A happy programmer happens when you see a flabbergasted look from your client, because you delivered something they thought was impossible, in a most amazing way.....
