I think there's two ways people view programming: it's either a means to an end, or it's a fun pizzle trap. Personally I only care about getting the job done in the cheapest and most reliable way possible. There's lots of interesting problems when you think about the dynamics of distributed systems, improving developer velocity, etc. Trying to code golf a single method just isn't appealing to me, so I don't mind slapping together some Go and a good set of tests and calling it a day.
