Do most programmers honestly enjoy writing code?
Devs I've met seem to fall into the following groups:
Don’t care that much for programming but like the teams they are in and enjoy seeing the final project/outcome
Dislike programming quite a bit but like the pay
Absolutely love writing code and solving complex problems
#1 and #3 are both fairly common it seems like. I personally am one of those who love the act of programming, and I've definitely met a few other devs who feel that way.
