If you want to see real delight in your work, do it for someone who needs it! They are usually not your co-workers :)

- swagasaurus-rex 12y agoThis comment holds more truth than is evident. The fact is, people who hire you don't actually want you to be better than them. This, I think, contributes largely to the criticism culture of programming. Of course, many interviewers have good intentions. Unfortunately, malign developers (dare I say, jealous?) are prone to setting a trend for the type of questions that are asked.
- AznHisoka 12y agoI agree. This applies to the startup world as well. Ask someone who isn't in your target audience for feedback, and they'll say X and Y is bad. Ask someone who actually needs it, and they'll say they love it.
- kat 12y agoI think some times it can be your co-workers. Write a script for the service team to automate some manual task, talk to QA about something they always have to manually setup - skunk work projects are a great way of delighting your co-workers.
