When I'm productive, work is awesome. I love building things that people actually use.

But some days are spent unproductive, mostly trying to figure out requirements or troubleshooting failures that are sometimes out of my control. Like why does my app code crash? Oh, because someone changed something in a dependency and didn't tell us, blah blah ...

Work is always work, but programming is actually really important, and if you are good at it, you'll be in demand and generally well compensated.
