I’m sorry if this sounds bad but I frankly think that computer programming is... not that interesting. I get satisfaction and pleasure from coming up with a good way to write some code, but I’d rather read something interesting from the humanities, read a math textbook, exercise, socialize than write code. Even study algorithms or complexity (not my favorite academic area but still quite interesting). (About to get even worse) I just feel that the field of simply programming is not so deep to require “passion” etc. beyond the entry level. In my worldview it’s just technical work and I feel sort of similar about passionate programmers as I would about some guy who is a plumber who is so passionate that he spends all his free time investigating plumbing. I don’t really see the point beyond doing a reasonably good job and taking some craftsman type pride in accomplishing a solid job.
