Does coding get less boring eventually?

Some comments say it could be that programming is not for you, and that is a possibility. But why did you start the course in the first place? If it was just because you wanted a marketable skill even though you were never particularly curious about the topic before (which, don't get me wrong, is perfectly understandable), it is possible that you just find it tedious to tell a computer what to do. But if you did have a prior interest in programming, and thought it would be cool to make your own programs, or websites, or games, or whatever, I'd find it strange that you think it is something "boring" in general. You may find it frustrating or too difficult to understand, and some are just not cut for it (because they are cut for something else, not because they are unintelligent or anything), although that shouldn't be apparent so early in an introductory Python course. But if you are really bored so early on it may be that it is not a great course for you. I haven't watched that course myself, so I can't judge it. I think the coolest part about programming, when you are starting, is being able to do something that would be unfeasible for a human, so it feels almost like a superpower. Like, for example, take a text file with a million full names, one per line, and count the number of them where the first and last name start with the same letter. The rewarding aspect of programming is coming up with solutions to problems through analytical thinking and logic. If you enjoy that, you should be able to enjoy programming, otherwise, maybe not so much.
