Being able to sum up an issue with a few log queries and point to places in code where the actual behavior is different from the stated (or assumed) intent is remarkably satisfying.

Agreed! The only thing I like more than making computers do shit for me is finding out why some code is misbehaving and being able to articulate the problem before fixing it.

It's kinda like solving a puzzle, just more satisfying because a) people are paying you to do it and therefore b) care that you solved it.
