why this crazy thing works

It’s addictive.
The high comes (or at least, the best hits are) when two conditions are met: 1) something you do benefits someone else, and 2) you know about it. Today, for me, it happened to hit me when a random comment I made in a random bug more than a year old helped someone else fix the bug. Yeah, that’s right: I didn’t even actually fix the bug. But I helped someone else do it. And yeah, it’s not a bug the fixing of which will protect anyone’s credit-card numbers or identity, but somehow it’s still a pretty good high.
