Here's something I've been wrestling with lately.  I keep hearing people come
to the realization that they never liked coding, they thought they did, but
secretly hated it the whole time.  I dont think I've ever kidded myself about
this.  I like building things.  I like having an idea and see it come to life.
Just because I like the end product more, and that coding really was a means to
an end, something I will never do again in the same capacity that I have in the
past, does not mean I did not enjoy the art of solving problems by typing
syntax into a file to tell a computer how to solve a problem.
