There is a certain satisfaction when a project is complete and polished, and you can see all the smaller parts working in tandem to create something functional and useful though.
I think a lot of baseline things are not sorted out early on before taking up coding either as a hobby, or a profession.
The number one thing that has affected me personally is a lack of ergonomics and ease-of-use. I mean I used to code straight for several hours 10 years ago and my body could absorb such a hit. My mind can continue solving puzzles, but the body eventually starts to wither and break.
I just can't do that now. I'm always experimenting with new physical ways to code, playing with different setups. Standing desks, eye tracking mouses, multiple screens, anything to take the load off my body and give me back that 'fingertip feel' I enjoyed 10 years ago.
