I have the luxury of a corporate job that allows me to create software applications for internal users that are much better than what they were using before - so much better that their daily enjoyment of their jobs is significantly improved. (And that says a lot more about how bad their old tools are than it says about how awesome a programmer I am.) As challenging and frustrating as it can sometimes be for me to get the application stack working, it's nothing compared to the aggravation and sheer misery I'm eliminating from my users' workflow. One group sits close enough to me that I can actually hear the reduction in swearing each time I replace a shitty old tool they have to use with something that was actually designed with their needs in mind. That's a pretty nice feeling.
