Try graphics programming.

Endless fun to be had trying to recreate shaders and having cool ideas for different vfx.

Honestly, that fits into the same boat for me. I like fixing problems for people and I’m not particularly creative in the classical sense. So messing with visual effects for the sake of it doesn’t really do it for me. Weirdly, if someone needed it for something, I’d probably pull a 60 hour shift to figure it all out ;-P

Just kind of sounds like recreational programming isn’t your thing.

That’s okay too :)
