So I started work as a full stack developer. I attribute part of my feelings to learning ReactJS, and just starting work for the first time as a fresh grad.<p>I&#x27;ve always appreciated programming. I appreciate what you can do with programming. But frankly, I don&#x27;t think I enjoy programming. I didn&#x27;t enjoy it when I was first introduced to it in undergrad, it was more of a means to an end. I&#x27;ve had to slowly build up to programming to an hour, hour and a half from 15 minutes through daily habits. And when I work on a project that I am want to work on, I can get captivated.<p>But for the work I&#x27;m doing for my employed, I just don&#x27;t give a shit. It&#x27;s only for the paycheck.<p>I don&#x27;t know if this is resistance manifesting itself, but I think people get a little too liberal with the word resistance.<p>I guess my question is once I get in a groove at work, is it likely I&#x27;ll start to enjoy it? Or is this a situation where that if I haven&#x27;t been engrossed by it already, chances are it&#x27;s not going to happen anytime soon?<p>Like I said before, certain aspects interest me. But I don&#x27;t get excited about the nitty gritty details, which is so odd because I am very obsessive in other hobbies.
Ask HN: Does the enjoyment of programming ever increase?
