To me, programming is one of the most enjoyable hobbies ever. So much
possibility for creativity, for practical creations, for utility and
also for optimization (for the obsessive-compulsives amongst us :)

And the satisfaction of a job well done, when you know you've achieved
your goals that you set for yourself. E.g. algorithmic
window-placement in shell script, as my most recent jaunt. So very
satisfying once I cracked that problem into a resoundingly conclusive
solution.
