Like what? The more I know about things outside programming, the more I see how interesting it is and how much boring, repeating stuff you have to go through to have fun in other parts of life.

And you never have to do anything boring or repetitive as a programmer. Sure we can automate a lot of things away once we know how to do them. But the task of staying up to date or learning in the first place involves a ton of repetition. And then there's the repeated task of learning when you get to a new project with a new language and new hardware.

Of course, you could just be repeatedly implementing the same thing with slight variations for years so minimal repetition in learning but maximal repetition in doing.

Designing board games. But the pay is nowhere near as good as programming.

Everybody gets to decide for him or her self what is considered interesting.
