I think, for a lot of people, solving the problem was always the fun part.
There is immense pleasure in a nice piece of code - something that is elegant, clever and simple at the same time.
Grinding out code to get something finished - less fun…
- TuringTest 10mo agoIt depends. Sometimes they joy is in discovering what problem you are solving, by exploring the space of possibilities on features and workflows on a domain. For that, having elegant and simple software is not needed; getting features fast to try out how they work is the basis of the pleasure, so having to write every detail by hand reduces the fun.

- dpkirchner 10mo agoOr maybe someone DJing instead of creating music from scratch.

- jimbokun 9mo agoNo. Building the instrument would be electrical engineering. Playing the instrument would be writing software.
