Although I love that coding is a means of creation, problem solving, and user experience. I feel that my primal reason for wanting to code isn't any of those.

Although I love that coding is a means of creation, problem solving, and user experience. I feel that my primal reason for wanting to code isn't any of those. Honestly, I don't even become interested or inspired to solve a problem until I experience it for myself (unless it's a job). I feel that my interest in coding stems from the fact the I enjoy challenging conventions. I like asking why things are the way they are, and then breaking the rules to better the creation process & product. The fact that I can learn on my own (as opposed to lectured) is what also drives me to code more. When I finally find something I want to build, I can learn how it's been done in the past, and develop my own opinions on how it should be done. Also, coding is probably the first thing that I've ever felt I could do with my life.
