It's really satisfying fixing crashes in rust-analyzer. You can start from a panic message and dig until you've got a tiny Rust program that triggers the problem. (It's usually an issue with incomplete source files breaking invariants.)

It's really satisfying to use a profiler for the first time on a project. I always find a big performance win with only a small code change. It's never the code that I expected to be slow, however!

Bootstrapping a language can be immensely satisfying. I've added the ability to define stub types in the Garden stdlib and suddenly I don't need to special-case Int or String! They're just normal type declarations.
