Some people are into designing software, others like to put the design into implementation, others like cleaning up implementations yet others like making functional software faster.

There is enough work for all of us to be handsomely paid while having fun doing it :) Just find what you like, and work with others who like other stuff, and you'll get through even the worst of problems.

For me the fun comes not from the action of typing stuff with my sausage fingers and seeing characters end up on the screen, but basically everything before that and after that. So if I can make "translate what's in my head into source on disk something can run" faster, that's a win in my book, but not if the quality degrades too much, so tight control over it still not having to use my fingers to actually type.

I've found that good tab AI-based tab completion is the sweet spot for me. I am still writing code, but I don't have to type all of it if it's obvious.
