I have many hobbies from cars thru music, electronics and various computer-related stuff and I can say with certainty:
There will be always tedious parts, and there will be always unfun parts in anything worth doing. And it will always feel a bit like work.
About the only hobbies without that is passive ones like watching/reading and partially video games.
I did notice that I change what hobbies I engage depending on what I do in work (I work in ops where maybe 30-40% is coding, but I can go weeks coding, or not touching much actual programming at all), if I get some hard stuff to do in work I usualyl engage with other hobbies than programming and vice versa, when I've been stuck in meetings, planning and deploying at work I engage in programming more.
Keeping on one "stack" of libraries can help. I also have a template for new apps so I'm not held in minutia of writing logging again for the next app.
