People in general hate programming. Most IRL friends I have are absolutely terrified of programming and don't dare to even try or found it very tedious, boring, and hard, then very quickly gave up. I have friends who can't program even when they think that's fun and want to learn it. I like it, but the programming like the kind I have to study for to take a tech interview definitely isn't so much fun to me.

If you like programming, you're among the lucky few. If you like the kind of problems on leetcode, you're among luckier few of the lucky few.
