Ask HN: Love for Programming. Consequence or Motivation?

Most doctors don't love going into the hospital to see a patient in the middle of the night but they love what they do as a consequence of the meaningful work they do.

So does your love for programming come as a consequence of what you do or a motivation?

My love for programming is due to an insatiable desire to learn and synthesize knowledge into new forms, to apply concepts across different domains, and to generate interesting things with a computer. Being paid for it is a necessary incidental.
