I never feel useless, it's the exact opposite that makes me love programmaing. You have endless possibilities, you can do whatever you want, you just need a little of will power. I love keeping my brain active and I always try to learn something from everything I do. Also I love the users, I love the idea of being able to create something that people use every day and find useful/funny/nice. I think one of the things that give the biggest booster is the users feedback. Those few lines from a thankful user are worth a lot to me. Anyway what I said might be also because I am in a different situation from you, from your post I suppose you are stuck in a company that makes you do the "code janitor" or something that seems not to add value. I can only suggest to try to find the something in what you do that gives you pleasure. I too work for a company but I enjoy every moment I work, each time a part of my code goes live and works I feel like I did a good job and I find a lot of gratification in it.
