There are a couple of people in the world who can really program in C or FØRTRAN. They write more code in less time than it takes for other programmers. Most programmers aren't that good. The problem is that those few programmers who crank out code aren't interested in maintaining it.

When are programmers happy?

In other words, programmers are happiest when they're working efficiently. This is a general preference in creative work.
