    Hey there guys, I sometimes think about happiness, being a software engineer. So what is happiness for you? What makes you happy?

    Thanks & Best Regards, Umer Aziz Malik Senior Strategy Developer Aurora Solutions (Pvt) Ltd.

    Upon turning off 'system restore' windows deleted lots of source code. Having a backup from yesterday made me happy :)

        To crush your enemies, to see them fall at your feet -- to take their horses and goods and hear the lamentation of their women. That is best.

              Adequate sleep. Correct grammar and punctuation. Drivers who use their indicators. Trees. Hitting two successive right notes on my guitar. Watching the sea. Etc., etc., etc.

                  Happiness is a challenge and the belief that you have the ability to meet it.

                        You missed out the capital letter and the full stop, so yes I am. :(( I feel lousy if I don't have enough sleep. I feel good if I have adequate sleep. Why does that make me sad?

                          So true about sleep. A white night with a kid screaming means a cranky dev with no safety fuses or pins in the morning. A good 6 hours makes a happy dev :)

                            Happiness is the greatest gift that I posses. It is an ocean tide or a sunset fading on a mountain side. It is a field of grain turning its face to the falling rain.

                                    I think that describes most developers regardless of their situation... :sigh:

                                        Happiness is having others appreciate the work you do, like when the owner of the company smiles when you demonstrate your application. Having someone hear one of my songs and say that’s really cool and inspiring. When my daughter hugs me and says I love you Daddy, and when my Wife reaches over and takes my hand and gives it that gentle squeeze for no reason. Happiness is knowing when things go wrong I’ll get through it a better person as I always have.

                                        It was broke, so I fixed it.

                                          Amen! Happines can come in the simplest of things.
