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

    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.

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

                                        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.....
