>I'm now more in camp 'solving problems', I want the job done and the task successfully finished to a reasonable level of quality To split the definitions one step further: That actually sounds not like you 'enjoy solving problems'(the process), but rather you 'enjoy not having the problem anymore'(the result). Meaning you don't like programming for itself(anymore?), but merely see it as a useful tool. Implying that your life would be no less rich if you had a magical button that completely bypassed the activity. I don't think someone who would stop doing it if given the chance can be said to "like programming", and certainly not in the way GP means.
