Im a undergrad and i participate in the international collegiate programming contest(ACM-icpc), i try to solve many problems using online judges on the ruby language(so i pratice my algorithm knowledge and get better on ruby), and i also enjoy real world problems because of just like you said, the satisfaction of writing a useful problem.
