It's slightly embarrassing, but the first time I answered a question, got an upvote and a check mark, well, it felt pretty good.

- codinghorror 14y agoNo reason to be embarrassed! Learning from/teaching your peers, while leaving useful breadcrumb trails for other people to follow -- that's supposed to feel good!
- nathan_long 14y agoThat's what I like about SO's points: they prove my answers have helped someone, which does feel good. It's not like an actual video game, where you're like, "Hey, I got 5,000 points, which means... absolutely nothing outside the game."
