Eh... yea, but as with any other creative profession (3d artist...), not all people get to do "fun" stuff often enough for the job to not become frustrating / boring. Yes, programming itself really is fun, but only if you care about the thing you're working on (which most of us will for our own personal/side/business projects, but not that many of us work on exciting stuff in our 9-to-5). I mean... You can only do so many years of repetitive coding tasks in a typical corporate environment. That's why so many senior devs (upper 30's and 40's) either move to a management position or quit the industry ("quit" as in they start working for themselves in their own business or they just do something different and maybe do contract work from time to time). Personally, I can't imagine myself doing the corporate worker drone programming for much longer (10+ years has been more than enough), I want to stop some time in not too distant future and I'm actively working towards that goal.
