Can someone be an excellent Programer without loving to CODE ?

Question

I recently read a blog saying one could have a successful coder career while not enjoying CODE and not loving it at all l. what do you think about ?
the man said he codes for money. not for passion

Answer 1

I think it is possible. You have to work and exercise coding as long as you need to become good enough to be able to solve the problems u have to tackle in your job. Usually those with passion invest their free time in that activity while those without don't. I think that's the biggest difference between them.

Answer 2

if you love to code, then that is not your jobe, you enjoy at it 😃

Answer 3

thanks for your lovely contribution

Answer 4

You can do anything you want without love for it, but YMMV depending on how long you can keep at it, especially with something that requires you to sit for long periods, think hard and solve huge problems all the time. You may burn out.

I need help, most definitely. Help me somebody. I like Hatsy Rei for a mother of my people, a wonderful gift her mind is

Answer 6

Agree with Bennett. Burnout in the making. Been there before in my previous career working on cars. Tolerating anything only lasts so long before you’re miserable. Sometimes you have to do what you have to do, but if you have a choice, choose wisely. I’d say a coder who hates coding might want less development and more design in their work. Or, better yet, find their true passion and make that pay the bills 🙂

Answer 7

If you work hard to learn it, it doesn't matter if you love it or not. But I think it's better when you love it, because you'll feel that you're doing a hobby not a job.

Answer 8

Your brain clicks because you love/enjoy at what you are doing, but If you don't have the fire desire in you...after a while ?? Ya know, the F#%@M $%#, but people are different. It may works for you. As long as you are happy, JUST DO IT !!
