Pretty happy.
I was stuck for ahwile on php, and then found out you can do stuff in Python. So I can imagine that a switch of another language can make you happier. (Feeling like a beginner again and getting more confident by each thing you learn new).
Also, programmers like to create things, and if you're just maintaining projects, you're probably less happy.
So for me moving from employee to freelance (creating over maintaining) increased happiness.
