A capacity to endure endless mind-numbing boredom.

  If learning new things and solving problems is boring to you, then programming is the wrong job for you.

    TBF I spend more time painstakingly following stack traces around to figure out the root cause of some weird bug than I do learning cool technologies or devising novel algorithms. It's all "fun" or "interesting" in a certain (sometimes masochistic) sort-of way, but it definitely requires a certain mental fortitude. Even learning the coolest of new tech requires hours of slogging through documentation or dealing with development environment headaches.
