stpapa··on How to Become a ‘Superager’
> This means that pleasant puzzles like Sudoku are not enough to provide the benefits of superaging. Neither are the popular diversions of various “brain game” websites. You must expend enough effort that you feel some “yuck.” Do it till it hurts, and then a bit more.

This sounds a lot like software development. We are constantly on the edge of frustration.

Working on a complex problem can be at the same time exhausting and satisfying.

Is this not a perfect example?
