As an enterprise web developer by day, I find my salvation in my personal open source projects. It's a topic that has bothered me for about a decade and had actually made me quit programming as a hobby a few times.

As someone else had once said, limitation sparks creativity. Without limitations (such as for instance a low number of dependencies, or deliberately simpler code) the activity becomes mundane and overly goal-focused, which ultimately results in poor quality of the outcome.

I personally found myself greatly improve the quality of all my activities in life by imposing "challenging" limitations on them. Though surely it's not an approach for everyone.
