Answer :

Cleaning up shitty code at work, sometimes people are sorry that I had to wade through nasty legacy code, but it’s immensely satisfying for me to rewrite something in a way that’s better. Also writing complicated SQL queries. No one else at work seems to like to touch that shit, but I think it’s fun, like a puzzle.
