That made me laugh. I guess I do get some dopamine from seeing an upvote on HN. But that's only because of the respect I have for the person most likely attached to that vote. I am code-related, and I go home feeling empty if I walk away from a day without having built something. It can keep me up at night, actually. So there is something to that. I started working with wood at night, because it's not computer related and even with my poor skill it feels like an accomplishment. Exercise has a feeling of accomplishment for me as well. It's just surprising that the popular social medias can build up such a reward hit in people.
