I understand wanting to write beautiful code, it's a major motivator for me. But it does have to actually do something useful - or there's no point.

The code itself, its elegance and cleverness can be a point in itself. I'd argue it's a stupid point (with a few exceptions ala CCC), but for some people it does seem to be the main driver.
