| 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 |
| 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. |

| 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. |

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 |

I like making things work / DO something useful. |
Show |
| Seeing ideas come to life. |
Show |

Show |
| Having a working solution that I understand and can explain to others. |
Show |
| Controlling stuff. |
Show |
| I like building systems that interact with the real world. I also enjoy refactoring code into something that is easier to understand and less complex. |

Show |
| Watching what I conceived actually run on hardware and do what I want it to do... |
Show |
| When people enjoy using my software in real products or when my software makes them more productive, I am happy and a bit proud. This is a fantastic reward for struggling with something as complex as software. |
Show |
| We can create clean reusable modular code. It feels like working on an object of art. When you write some good code, it's satisfying in the same way when a painter paints a nice picture. |

Show |
| Form, function and a executing methodology to solve complex problems in software.
Mainly like in the embedded/hardware level. |
Show |
| Its fun and can make things happen. Its challenging to bring in new functionalities. |
Show |

| It is a creative process |
Show |
| That code I write is readable, self explanatory, it works as specified and is well documented. |
Show |
| What I like the most about developing software is thinking new ideas and being able to make them real. Physical stuff tend to be more difficult to make, for SW you """only""" need a PC. |
Show |
| I like the challenge of understanding complexity (in requirements or implementation) and potential beauty of keeping it simple |
Show |

Show |
| all stages |
Show |
| Algorithm development, debugging |
Show |
| Architecting and even writing the code to be readable and maintainable is an art/craft that's fun to hone. |
Show |

Show |
| Finding clean and elegant solutions to problems. Getting to the bottom of troubleshooting exercises. Seeing things you developed doing what they were designed to do. |
Show |

Show |
| I like the creative part of developing projects |
Show |
| All the process, from the design based on the needs of the project, implementing it in the target device, understanding how the microcontroller works and executes the program, and making a robust and clean code |
Show |
| It is very rewarding when the program does what you want |
Show |
| When firmware works properly, it is really rewarding |
Show |
| It's a funny work!!!, I love create products that works and I love solve technical problems. |
Show |
| I like doing things work properly. |
Show |
| |
Show |
| I like "the creation of something". The feeling when you
have started from something that was not even existing and
then you start seeing how it gets "live". |
Show |
| Everything. I like how developing SW helps you to think in a different way. Finding a solution to a problem or implementing a feature makes me feel good as I see the code working. I like to find the best way to reach to a solution. |
Show |
