It's making me realize that there's an entirely different type of programmers who aren't doing it to solve problems. I still don't quite get their angle though. Solving problems is what makes programming interesting.

For a lot of people it doesn't matter if the work is interesting or not, as long as they get paid for it.

This is basically all of my coworkers, and I've burnt so many of my spoons I'm unable to make myself program outside of work anymore.
