How can one be bored with programming? Am I the only one never bored when left alone somewhere? There's always more to learn, more to do, to experiment with, etc. It's really a shame to read such a question. I don't even want to work with you.

> Am I the only one never bored when left alone somewhere?

Ah, boasting disguised as a response.

> I don't even want to work with you.

And a really cruel, personal insult to finish off with.

This sort of attitude needs to end. It absolutely infests tech sites.

There's always more to learn, more to do, to experiment with, etc.

In some (many?) jobs, no there isn't. The work can become extremely repetitive and mundane, while still requiring enough physical and mental energy to make doing more creative programming in your spare time look unappealing.

It's a real problem, and not necessarily an indicator of the inherent passion of the person experiencing it.

How can one be such an egotistical asshole? Am I the only one reading this? I guess there's always more of them out there than you think. It's really a shame to read such a response. I don't ever want to be in your presence.

exactly!!! Being bored with programming is like saying bored of life. There's a whole world of programming out there to be explored. I've been doing it for 28 years and love every day of it.

how is this helpful? this is the classic 'works for me' response when a bug is reported..try to understand that other people may have other personalities, environments, needs, interests

The guy isn't bored of programming, he is over worked.
