Simply put - this.
Six years in, and the entrepeneurial pendulum still gets me on an almost-daily basis.
I think it's particularly troublesome if you're in IT, since working with computers can be one of the most humbling experiences you can have. Programs have no qualms about telling you just how good or bad you are, you are laid bare by the compiler or interpreter, they show you no mercy as they pummel you with error messages.
On the other hand, nothing can beat the feeling when the code all falls into place and everything start to work for the first time. Customer requirements met and exceeded, program working as expected and often better than expected, beautifully-crafted code that perfectly solves a problem.
Yup, that pendulum's still swinging.
