I don't know if I'd ever use the word "enjoy" related to programming. For me, at least, programming isn't something I do, "programming" is what I am. Think of a musician. Anyone can learn to play but some people are musicians by nature. Somehow the word "enjoy" is too shallow. Some days I love it. Some days I hate it. Some days you get nothing done. Most days you write 10 lines of (working) code. But some days you work until the sun rises (well, I work from home :-) ) and wonder where the day went. It sounds like you took up programming for the money. That's like becoming an artist to paint factory walls. Don't worry. By the time you turn 35 you'll either have been forced to retire into management or you'll be doing something else. To twist a saying from my youth (which was "Never trust anyone over 30")... "Never hire anyone over 30". Programming these days is a short career. Next year nobody will remember ReactJS. Enjoy it while you can. I've been at it for nearly 45 years now and I'd rather program than eat. That said, it's not for everyone. The level of frustration can be intense. I spent yesterday chasing a "that can't happen" bug with no success. This morning I found and fixed it. Anyone can learn to program. Not everyone can handle the frustration.
