This article starts out making a case, then about halfway through it takes a weird turn and gets pretty surreal. Am I the only one who got lost there?<p>I think within 'coding' there is such a vast range of different pursuits - code can be like architecture, document filing systems, artwork, marketing, etc… there is just such an abundance of variety it's really hard to put all of 'coding' into one box like this.<p>It's like saying 'writing' isn't fun, it's technically and ethically complex. Some writing, like medical records - carry life or death sentences if there are errors. Some strokes of the pens call for executions - not all writing is fun… but would you argue that because some writing is hard, painful, or dangerous - that writing can't be fun as well? Think of love letters, recipes, poetry, maps, music etc. All different forms of writing that can be fun in their own way.
