Do you not consider finding out what the person asking for things actually wants to be a hard problem to solve? I live to build things and continuously fend off attempts to slide me into management, but I find actually programming things to be only half the part of the puzzle. Humans are extremely bad at articulating what they want and will generally tell you the wrong thing up front because they haven't thought it through fully. A day spent with a stakeholder carefully picking their brains and properly crafting a plan can be just as satisfying as a day of straight coding - sometimes more so. (tbh this is probably also why I find UX work so interesting - getting a user to click on a button is considerably harder than making the button in the first place)
