Is this a troll?
Of course programming is supposed to be exciting. It's problem solving at it's more basic, and it involves making staff, potentially even stuff with huge impact on the world.
What the fuck, even cooking and truck driving is exciting, why would programming not be?
- AznHisoka 15y agoI think there are some people who's interest in programming is correlated with the end result (what the end product is + impact). If the end product is going to be trivial, it doesn't matter what innovative technology you're using - it won't be interesting. I'm one of those people.
- tmh88j 15y agoI think he means the literal processes of typing code. I have fun designing a system and figuring out how to make things work together. I don't get much pleasure sitting in front of a computer for hours typing away. Debugging on the other hand can be more interesting because once again, it's back to problem solving mode.

- rachelbythebay 15y agoNot a troll. I'll go with cooking since you mentioned it, and I do like cooking things. Making a pizza is boring. Inviting a friend over, teaching her how to make pizza, and then each of us making one and sitting down to watch a movie? That's fun. Looking forward to a potluck where I'll bring a homemade pizza and homemade apple pie[1] for other people to enjoy? That's when it starts getting exciting. I love sharing that stuff.
