There are too much and overacted already, on (other than this) barely interesting things.
This is not Hollywood or the Broadway (which actually also suffers from the mandatory celebratory pressure, justified or not [1]).
Well completed good work is a reward in itself (see bulk of old NASA reels). For releasing the desire of self celebratory acts we have LinkedIn, Youtube and other social media just for this kind of overinflated complacency.

I wonder how you'd felt working almost a decade and never saw a fruit of your work until that one moment where you can feel the rumble in your guts.
I guess like those on NASA reels. Looks more honest than cloning the faboys at yet another music festival vibe.
