For me, the fun part is in getting something to work! I love seeing an elegant solution come together. I love seeing all my tests pass. I love looking at two problems, seeing they are the same, and factoring out the common parts. I hate busywork and boilerplate because they make it take longer for me to get to the stuff I love. They require effort in addition to what is actually required to express my solution to a problem. I don't love coding, I love making things with code. The faster I can do that, the better. The more efficient my tools get, the happier I am.
