Never stop learning
I think every program you write should be the hardest you’ve ever written.

Thank you for reading my work. Did you enjoy this post? You can find more like it in the sidebar. Please browse the archives, there are lots of hidden gems. A Brief History of Dangerous Ideas explains what I am up to at the moment.
Assuming that we're not giving up the constraint that you actually succeed at writing each program, then this is a recipe for happiness, success and growth that would work quite handily for me.
I tend to be a titch beyond the success curve, though....

I have given up the success constraint. Luckily, I am still able to be happy and experience growth.
In fact, my definition of hard requires some uncertainty of whether I'll succeed. That's part of what makes such projects an opportunity for growth.

It's not always the result which count but the way to get it, especially when the problem is not very hard.
Many not-so-hard problem are good test-bed for using powerful new abstraction and the mind expansion that goes with it.
Expanding one's mind is hard (and is a strange feeling).
If the goal is to get better, that what we are after.
Sadly most control-freak work environment are not very friendly toward this kind of behavior.
One minute of silence for all the frustrated coders.
