The "I figured it out!" feeling!!! Solving a particularly difficult problem, or the moment when something you've been struggling to understand finally "clicks."

I've been in love, had great food and drinks and been to a few amazing far off places, had great orgasms, enjoyed awesome stories in various forms of media, etc. but nothing compares.

Fixing something you thought was probably going to end up trashed is also a great feeling. I would call it a subcategory of the "I figured it out!" feeling, though.

I agree along with the flash of insight that lightning strikes you and you know it in your body before becoming aware of it consciously

This, especially while coding. I was thinking about a problem for like 30 minutes and then finally figured it out.

This is it. Doesn't matter if you spent 60min, 10h, 100h, 1000h,... on it - that's accomplishment.
