You clearly don't like to program.

The playfulness comes from developing an internal map of how the programming language you use exposes the underlying system. Cutting and pasting from examples is not going to help you.

Solving problems sets with discreet tasks attached to them like the project euler problems may help give you a structure to develop your fundamentals.

My thoughts.

If you dont enjoy doing it in your free time. Don't try to force yourself. You will never succeed. If you are an aspiring entrepreneur then there are still plenty of ways to get involved in the startup scene without being a code monkey. One lesson I learned is that if you enjoy something, you will both do well and want to persevere when the going gets tough.

I probably don't like going through the hurdles associated with problem solving, but I'm not going to give up for all that.

I don't get excitement and joy from programming: so what? There are moments when I can't get pleasure or joy out of anything I do, like sleeping or eating, but it doesn't mean I should stop doing either of those things.

I'm not interested by entrepreneurship and startups for the moment, for now I'm more into acquiring technical skill.

Maybe so, but I never mentioned anything about copypasting code myself. I type those snippets by myself, though sometimes I get some help from Stack Overflow, but I try to understand what I take from the answers, otherwise it's just some black-box code.
