alt Hacker NewsThere are (at least) two types of programmers. One type does it because they enjoy problem solving and programming is the best/most effficient way to solve those problems.
The joy comes from the problem no longer existing, being solved, not from the physical act of typing.
I'd wager the former is no programmer at all, just a regular problem solver. At least not a programmer in the way that someone printing a clay teapot is not an artisan.
Anyway, let's burn the data centers and become Luddites. Wait, first become Luddites, the we can burn things.
