Before I go to sleep, I run through what I did the whole day and be thankful for everything. That I'm alive, that I had a hot shower, that I have a heater, I have to eat.
This also help me remember what I did the whole day and evaluate everything in a positive manner. The whole thing take me like 5min and it changed my life since I started doing it. It doesn't matter whether you believe in god or not, being thankful will make a difference in your life. Try it :)
Nice friends from my hometown! I've been working abroad the past eight months, and they've been loving enough to keep in touch with me every once in a while.
Of course my family, my health, and I am still alive :)
Automated testing :)
microprocessors, the C programming language, the government for giving me money to go to college where I otherwise wouldn't have been able to go.
For having the chance to keep on trying.
Unit tests so I can sleep at night.
Do you think that programmers who don't do unit tests are crappy programmers?
Due to not being able to sleep?
For me it's my family, a good job, and to be alive in an exciting golden age of technology.
I am thankful to the people who make the free software that I enjoy using. Off the top of my head: NetBSD, Firefox, Mame, Vim, FLAC, Lame, MPD, Scrot/FEH, Ratpoison, and Scrypt.
