Good feels,Its 7 year old OLED screen is getting dimmer by the day,barely can make out the letters in anything but pitch black circumstances.
My dad used it on them 7 hour buss journeys too,super content with it
Nearly sold it to a fucking huehuenigger,so glad I didnt.
Its the only item I have from when things were better.
It saved me from almost lethal boredom on a 7 hour buss trip,It saved me from tripping the fuck out on a (small-ish)plane because flying scares the fuck outta me,Thanks high efficiency loud as fuck sennheiser HD-25's
Its ultra reliable usb mini cover broke off after all these years
It actually got a firmware update allowing it to play .APE files,I used it only for fucks and giggles.
Ive left it in rain and it works flawlessly.
The times it did got stuck the reset button did wonders
Its now somewhere in my messy room waiting to be turned on and playing some old af mp3's and wma files.
Its on its his legs
He'll be gone soon.

It's a nice feeling. I still having a long way to go, though.

Hearing that sweet, sweet POST beep on a brand new build being turned on for the first time.

the feeling of accomplishment is pretty great desu

>when an alien concept finally "clicks" after constant studying and research

Im in the process of teaching myself basic electronics. Ive been reading and rereading information on various components and applications there of.
that moment when it all comes together is bliss.

That's a pretty hard choice actually. Both of those can be a nice feeling in their own right. I'd say a healthy balance of both from time to time is validating.

syyu lmao

Freeing up a bunch of space on a hard drive. The act of going through all your old stuff can be pretty fun especially when you go into folders that haven't been opened in years and finding old files you thought you lost. Then comes the best part. The purge. Refreshing your file manager and seeing a drive jump from almost full to over half empty is wonderful.

>writing code for 2 hours that works on the first try

>>55658796

Even if you didn't write it, having a shitload of nice looking code in front of you is nice. Sometimes when I'm working on a project I like to go back and just look at the code without any intention of changing it.

>>55662347
Yep, that's great feeling. Sometimes even simple code in C looks cool...

Nah, JK. Got i3wm with i3blocks myself with as few flashy shit as possible. Shit's dope.
>>55662018
>>55661491
also, for me - writing lisp code. Was rewriting a sample othello application with AI in clojure, and, almost accidentally, wrote a function so perfect that managed every corner case on a first try. Absolute pleasure.

I hate large files of code

Compartmentalized code is best

>Calling people scrubs when they don't use the exact arbitrarily chosen tools as you

>>55658796

Copying from stack overflow is like 90% of many peoples job. Well that and planning the project to begin with.

The only time I actually get into making code is for myself as a hobby. During the work day you are a shit employee if you waste time fucking around on something that has been solved already.
