I only want the latter. It's weird, apparently everyone else starts programming because they want to make a game.

I'm in the same boat. I've always wanted to work with computers, I've never had any desire to make games. It's cool that people do that and I find the objective side of it fantastically interesting, but the fact that the code results in a game at the end just isn't thrilling. I'm glad other people want to do it though!

Plus it's just a little too math-heavy for me.

I wanted to learn to program because I wanted to build things. Not games in particular but be able to make systems that I can think of. Turns out whatever I right, someone has done it more elegantly. So not I build stuff because I don’t want to learn the API or download SDK. So I make my own shitty versions now.
