I was addressing the 'enjoyment' factor, when at the end of the day, esp. at scale, it's a job to produce something someone paid for.

That's where we're at a marked disagreement. "It's just a way to get paid" reduces every human knowledge to a monetary transaction, so the value of any type of learning is only worth what is being paid for.

Thankfully the people that came before us didn't see it that way otherwise we wouldn't even have anything to program on.
