If you are a developer who does not enjoy coding, I question your career choice.

Some developers enjoy coding and some enjoy paychecks. Some enjoy both.

Lack of passion and enjoyment for an art form generally correlates with a mentality of doing 'just-enough', rather than a keen desire for craftsmanship.

I think those who enjoy paychecks but don't enjoy coding are likely to be incompetent developers. Which is not a desirable end.

They are probably questioning it too.

But also, enjoying coding recreationally and enjoying coding for work are very different things.
