I ALWAYS enjoy working on my own projects.
Now, those I get PAID to work on - That's an entirely different matter!

Totally aggree.
I would argue to call my job software development. It's rather about trying to correct bad code.
The best is to work on hobby projects.

I think it is the worst job ever.

Go take a look at people who actually work hard for minimal wage and you'll feel better about software development.

I didn't think I would need to add the joke icon. Maybe I was wrong.

Ah, sorry. My sarcasm detector seems to be buggy 
Perhaps I know too many people who seriously claim software development is a horrible job

No worries. I think in my mind I was being funny, but now I can see that it could be hard to tell. I will use the joke icon next time...kind of why it is there, I guess.

You probably spend more time coding than you do sleeping. Or talking to your partner, your children, you parents.
A third of your life is probably spent working - more in many cases.
If you aren't enjoying it, you are in the wrong job.

I've been writing code since I got my Timex ZX Spectrum 48k, roughly 30 years ago.
Taking in account that I'm 38 now, I can say that computers are kind of an extension of my brain 
I was also lucky to have my parents to support me (mostly buying me the hardware) which actually led me to discover the profession that (still) makes me get out of bed with a smile

I have been writing code since I learned Fortran on an IBM 360 using punched cards about 44 years ago.
The first ten years I felt guilty getting paid so much for having so much fun.
The next ten years my work earned every penny.
The next ten years it was hard work that I enjoyed but it was often not appreciated, which is discouraging.
The next ten years I began to have a love/hate relationship.
Now I tell people I hate computers (a little tongue in cheek). When they are shocked because it is my job, I tell them I love helping people and solving problems. Unfortunately, I use computers to do it. I focus on the helping people part. I did vote "Yes. A lot." but with a weary sense of the struggle it sometimes takes.
So many details! (heavy sigh) So much confusion...

Love the 30 years over the age of 38 and the IBM 360. My FORTRAN was punched into a UNIVAC 90. For me "Software Development" requires that I run away from home (reality) each morning and join the circus. I am totally stoked and fortunate to write code that rubs alongside industrial robots, (gypsy mutant industrial vacuum...) chambers, gas analyzers, causing cryo-pumps to weep... oh yeah, joy joy.

Used to be a lot, but it has become a bit of a routine...
Luckily I've still got some assignments that I really enjoy!
Once I stop enjoying programming it's time to look for another job.
Life's too short to do something you don't enjoy

I feel you, bro! Still sometimes I have to "square the round" and that's when I enjoy!

I feel lucky to have a work I like. Sometimes(mostly because of clients..) it is not well recognised, but I could imagine myself doing more or less the same after 10 years.

I hope most of the members like to involve with software development For me, it's more like design level, not in coding level. I hate to sit and write code.
If you've never failed... You've never lived...

At least for me. 
I think, apart from enjoying writing source code, it is a hobby for me, interest for me. Enjoyment is while getting a positive response from end user. Which in my case is still me.

I guess, there will be very few people on CodeProject who would not enjoy Software Development.
