Sure! I still love the thrill of the chase, and a beautiful code solution to a complex problem can bring a tear of joy to my eye. I spend plenty of time muttering like a madwoman as I puzzle through a problem, and literally leaping for joy when I get it to work. But no, I am nowhere near as obsessed with it now as I was when I first encountered it, and I’m glad for that. It’s nice to solve these puzzles for a living, and then leave it at the end of the day and go do something else fun, like knit socks or grow plants or brew beer.
