The comments have covered red-tape/bureaucracy pretty well - and I agree that could be a big part of the problem for any programmer. In my case, my joy for coding is greatly enhanced by interactivity. Across the stack, I try to remove friction: hot reloading is sacred in my frontend work (I make sure to fix it whenever I notice anything funky going on); click to run in VSCode and 'rich text comments' in my files to have a better REPL workflow; shortcuts, snippets, scripts to automate; faster tests; autocomplete using types and Copilot. Overall, stuff that gives me Thinking in Principle vibes (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUv66718DII https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUv66718DII). Making my workflow more interactive has made me enjoy programming more :)
