What is your happiest programming moment?

[Toz]

For me, it was when finally, after studying for hours upon hours about how functions worked, it all of a sudden just hit me, and I understood how to use them. It was when my brain pushed "parameters" out the proverbial window and replaced them with "placeholders". That's when it clicked and I became very happy.

Being a self taught web developer, my first job assignment was a exam management system in php for a boarding school.
I did everything with an ugly html UI & when it was live that was my happiest programming moment.

When it compiles and runs in the first go.

Ugly or not, what's important is that it worked. Most coders tend to have ugly UIs. I used to think programmers had no imagination.


...until I started writing code.

Hell yeah!

When something you spent a long time developing works flawlessly for months with no bugfixes!

I blindly wrote code from what I read on the docs to connect to a wp api to post something and printed the response and it was 201 on the first run.

You are living the dream! Good on you.

I can only imagine this one. All my long time projects have only been long time projects because things keep changing and thus require tweaks on my part. For me, I think it's just the industry I work in, where the only constant seems to be change.

I love when the documentation makes enough sense for me to be able to follow and then it works without issue. This is indeed a great feeling.
