I like to code because just from a text I can create breathtaking things. Moreover, the feeling when I see peoples using things which I created is great đ

Honestly, I love puzzles. Programming to me is like just constantly doing puzzles so I get paid to do something frustrating and satisfying. Something I can take pride in.
Also at my current job the code I make constantly helps people and makes their job better. So I'm helping people in the process.

Initially, I coded for the pure love of making a computer do what I wanted. After years of never having time to myself, getting calls to fix code I didn't write or user errors 24/7 (even on vacations,) I was completely burnt out and wanted nothing to do with it. Having retired, I'm back to doing it for the love of it. I look for ways to structure or optimize algorithms to make them simple to understand and maintain.

@John Your reason is very emotional. Sounds a bit like a history. I think coding is a destination for me.
