  • Manic-depressive programming

    In my current hobby programming project, I alternate between
    adding features and cleaning up the code with refactoring.

    Adding features is manic because I get a sense of accomplishment
    very quickly when I see the program suddenly doing new things.

    Cleaning up is depressing because I work much harder, but the
    programming project doesn't seem to progress because the program
    can't do any more than it could before I started cleaning it up.
