This is the entire premise of Ruby, with Matz openly claiming that it being pleasurable to anyone else but him is a happy side-effect. Part jest, but also very core to it.

I wouldn't have been able to put so much work in maintaining ArchMac for so long without going completely bonkers had I not taken it this way either.

So it’s entirely possible to build large scale projects this way, and I’m wondering how we could make companies work that way too. At the very least it should be part of any employee sustainability plan.
