I get that for Stack Overflow, programmers can somehow use their rep for portfolio purposes. What I would like to understand is what do people get by having a high reputation for ex.

I am always answering questions on forums like these because I like it. I learn more, I have fun, I help people interested in the same things as I am… So yeah, I can consider it as a hobby.
