I've been a programmer for almost 20 years. When I code into the wee hours of the night I usually do so without realizing that so much time has passed. I get lost in the act of writing the code.

But to get lost in the code you first have to find it easy to do so. I'd wager that someday after you have been doing it long enough you will find the comfort zone and you will start taking joy in coding.

Dislike, frustration and boredom are the taxes you must pay to learn anything new that is worth learning.

I recently chose to take cello lessons and I can tell you I dislike it at this point. Someday I will find the joy I see in others playing the cello expertly...so I practice each day looking forward to that day...and each day it gets easier.

Code or read someone's code on Github everyday. It will get easier and more fun.
