Can you elaborate on the difference? When would I be a happy developer but not a satisfied one?



If your compensation, benefits, and perks are great, you might be happy, but if you're a functional programming expert spending all your time writing up TPS reports on a spaghetti legacy COBOL application, you may not be satisfied.


Depends, how much am I getting paid?

Sorry, I'm old and jaded.
