I'm so happy I actually enjoy programming. I would do it even if I never got paid for it. Enjoying programming feels like such a life hack, considering the generous financial compensations.
I like being able to want something, come up with a solution, do it and use it. Most of it isn't novel but that feeling when you get it to work is great.
100% same. I absolutely love programming, and enjoy my job at least 9 out of 10 days (though my current has a whole lot more meetings than I'd prefer.) I consider myself immensely lucky.
Same. I struggle to understand how some engineers don’t like to code. It’s definitely my favorite part of the development process.
