| Software is the silent beast that brings automation to life; very few things can function without software today. |
Show |
| I like making things and helping people |
Show |
| It's a mechanism for solving problems and creating new things. Developing software allows me to create things that are (almost) infinitely flexible and limited only by my imagination and programming abilities. |
Show |
| Fairly regular doses of instant gratification. Easy to improve software to adapt to changing needs (as opposed to hardware, which is hard). |
Show |
| It's still a wind-up jigsaw puzzle |
Show |
| - Writing code that makes a useful impact on real world
systems.
- Code-reviewing -- it seems I always learn something new from seeing how other devs solve problems. |
Show |
| I get to work on interesting problems that have many possible solutions. I also like that it is possible to quickly iterate on and refactor solutions. |
Show |
| One can be creative. Can see the result working within minutes. |
Show |
| The gratification of seeing something working or fixed. |
Show |
| Problem solving, developing creative solutions, seeing something I built used by customers |
Show |
| Creating useful tools for people to have a better experience. |
Show |
| Interface design, understanding system interfaces and interactions between internal components |
Show |
| I like getting to solve problems and create solutions that help people |
Show |
| Software is quick to change and "easy" to edit. Instant gratification is nice (I came from a hardware background) |
Show |
| Making things work. |
Show |
| We write code that control giant hydraulic robots. It is very fun. I generally enjoy solving challenging problems and working towards elegant solutions. |
Show |
| I love the variety of problems to solve, the extreme focus, and the feeling of being part of an industry that is constantly evolving and making the impossible happen. |
Show |
| Software is like a brain teaser. Everyday there's a new challenge and everything has to play along. |
Show |
| - Understand how a system works
- Thinking how to solve problems and do it.
- Thinking about where are current problems and how to do it better.
- That you can control real hardware with "virtual" software (text instructions) |
Show |
| It's fun to be Frankenstein, creating life. |
Show |
| I am a creative person, and coding is a great way to express that. I love embedded software in particular because it is more concrete - my code works on real hardware and does something in physical space. |
Show |
| Solving challenging problems. |
Show |
| Where to begin?
The feeling of building out a system of interchangeable self-contained software lego-bricks that I can quickly reconfigure and adapt to solve an ever-increasing set of real-world problems. |

Show |
| Fast iteration, repeatability |
Show |
| Software is a creative process where it absolutely is possible to make use of successes and learn from failures of the past. |
Show |
| You can use it to simulate and offer helpful insights about real life. |
Show |
| Working code |
Show |
| Creating something that exceeds the customers expectations and has an elegant design and implementation. |
Show |
| Fun like a puzzle at times |
Show |
| Getting to see stuff work! |
Show |

Show |
| Challenge of solving problems efficiently and the interface between |
Show |
| Creativity and problem solving |
Show |
| Architecting, design and solving problems |
Show |
| Solving puzzles and bending the various processors involved to my will.
Finding the incorrect assumption in the assumption stack when debugging. |
Show |
| Making new stuff |
Show |
| Developing software is always fun especially when you hear a review/feedback from people who uses it. |
Show |
| Bringing (embedded) hardware to live using firmware |

Show |
| Modeling a problem domain |
Show |
| building/creating something with only time, my mind, a target and a computer as limiting factors. |
Show |
| Creating things. You start with a blank page and in the end you have a working system that actually does something. |
Show |
| Foremost the hardware interaction |
Show |
| Solving problems, seeing how everything fits together |
Show |
| Algorithm development and debugging |
Show |
| Logical problems |
Show |
| Challenging and fun, most of the times is not a tedious task. |
Show |
| Pays the bills |
Show |
| Solving problems. Debugging (figuring out why something doesn't work). Reviewing other's code to learn how other people think and solve problems. Designing clever or elegant solutions. |

| - Problem Solving excitement
- Building Solution to others problems
- Everything seems possible with a good keyboard and a couple of monitors
- Free Snacks (yeah!)

| the feeling when it works |
Show |
| I see it as an art which makes me feel like an artist, even though I'm an engineer. |
Show |
| I like bringing things together that make an impact in the real world. Writing firmware gives me this joy. |
Show |
| problem solving, debugging, integrating to put together the whole solution for a real world problem and making it work. |
Show |
| I like to implement algorithms, like to see features written and working.I like logical processes and neat arrangements. I like to make changes and see results quickly. |
Show |
| It's fun make something work that did not before, like building something 'ex nihilo' with Lego when I was a kid. Not only is there the challenge to be creative, but also to be efficient. And with embedded work, you work with something physical. |
Show |
| Everything but debugging |
Show |
| The feeling of accomplishment of solving a complicated problem with no previous known solution. Bringing order to chaos. |
Show |
| Creating something useful from nothing. |
Show |
| Intentionally left blank. |
Show |
| it's always interesting. You try to stay a step above the changes you are making by thinking through the impacts, but just when you think you've got it handled, you get your hand slapped. Always keeps you on your toes. I like programming new chips. |
Show |
| It's creative and analytical. |
Show |
| Software can be used to multiply the power of the human brain. |

making things go. |

| I like solving problems.
Whether it's fixing a bug or implementing a new feature, it's still a problem to be solved |

Show |
| I like coding. |
Show |
| I find it very fulfilling in that I can see the results of my work immediately. I find also very challenging. |
Show |
| finding the limits of complexity, development time, execution time and size |
Show |
| Producing elegant software designs |
Show |
| I enjoy the process, challenge, creativity of it. I also like developing products that impact peoples lives. but mostly I like development because it can be challenging and I like working on interesting problems. |
Show |
| Its like solving a puzzle. I know what I want the result to be, then I have to figure out how to get there. |
Show |
| I like the design process, working through interesting logic challenges, and refactoring to make code elegant. |

| Creation; followed closely by deletion (of obsolete code). |
Show |
| I've always enjoyed working with computers, Its creating something new, though the math involved tends to be a little less arduous than required be EE, which is what my formal training is in. |
Show |
| I enjoy the development of working tools and products. These are finite goals within a project, serving greater purposes withing a program. I enjoy honing and using a craft. |
Show |
| getting something up and running that is new feels very satifying, like playing God. |
Show |
| I am training to become a developer. |

| Times above total 50% because that is about how much of my time I get to use for coding.
I like making things work / DO something useful. |
Show |
| Seeing ideas come to life. |
Show |
| It is like creating a new specie. Your brainchild which will not have much in terms of anyone else's point of view. But for you its a time well spent to bring a outcome as a part of a bigger goal. |

Show |
| I like creating things, Software enables that |
Show |
| Relaxing, easy lifestyle, problem solving was always a hobby. I enjoy spending lots of time on a problem. |
Show |
| I love the challenge and doing new things and thinking about architecture. |
Show |
| Solving problems. Making things.
What I love about embedded software as apposed to desktop software is causing an effect in the physical world rather than the virtual world.
Who doesn't like making an LED blink? |
Show |
| Ability to create something useful; preferably something that requires creative thought. |
