I got into programming to just build stuff, the coding is just a means to an end, try not to think too hard about the how and think more about the why and what

I got into programming because I like programming, and computers. Not whatever the hell this is.

We get it, you don't have a passion for the act or the craft, just the end result, but I'm absolutely sick of hearing it all over this site as if it's a universal truth that some of us just don't recognize yet.

Sorry, some of us have a joy for programming where the how is just as important, if not more so, than the what and the why. No matter how much people proclaim that the how doesn't matter to them, it isn't going to suddenly make it true for others.
