I get dips in my joy of programming when I'm working on mostly easy problems. This happened to me at a few places I've worked, the work becomes so easy that I can do it without thinking and there aren't a lot of areas to improve or so much red tape it isn't worth it. Recently I started working at a startup where I get to do a bunch of different types of task and everyday I'm learning new stuff. It made my joy of programming return and I realized that the joy comes from the challenge of it, for me at least.
