I love this quote from Douglas Crockford:
There’s something wrong with us. I used to think that everybody should learn programming. … I don’t think that anymore. I think there has to be something seriously wrong with you in order to do this work. That a normal person, once they've looked into the abyss, will say, I'm done. This is stupid. I'm going to go do something else. But not us. Because there's something really wrong with us.

However there's a big difference between building something for yourself, and building something for your boss, and unfortunately I feel the difference.
