Ask HN: Do You Enjoy Programming or Do You Like What You Can Do With It?

I love being able to program. I'm not limited by the fact that I can think of an idea, but am unable to create. Being able to program allows me to create an MVP(Minimum Viable Product) in hours, rather than weeks.

Definitely both.

As a college student, I rather enjoy programming to solve problem sets - and at the same time, I like being able to play around and build whatever my heart desires.

Yup.

It's nice to be able to make ideas, instead of just having them.

Both =]

They are not mutually exclusive.
