Working on the BBC micro:bit project - first in Arm and then in the Micro:bit Educational Foundation! (http://microbit.org/ http://microbit.org/). The combination of nice hard technical problems, a really collaborative group of companies, universities and communities delivering it together, and the look of joy on kids faces when they first make something of their own with the micro:bit.
I think making sure that the broadest/most diverse range of people have the digital skills they're going to need to create the best future for us all is really essential, too, and micro:bit is really starting to contribute to that.
Additionally, since we launched the foundation, being able to focus on the needs of our audience and building a sustainable organisation rather than something that looks glitzy and investible (we're a UK-based not-for-profit) also contributes a huge amount to the sense of fulfilment.
(We're going to be hiring a number of people over the next few months, so if you like the sound of that - https://micro-bit-educational-foundation.workable.com/ https://micro-bit-educational-foundation.workable.com/ )
