It's still okay to enjoy programming

Original: It's still ok to enjoy programming

An essay by Chris Kiehl argues that programming remains worth enjoying despite pervasive industry cynicism, burnout discourse, and constant churn in tools and frameworks. The piece encourages developers to rediscover the intrinsic pleasure of building software rather than treating the craft purely as a career grind. Readers are engaging with the article's pushback against negativity in developer culture, with many apparently finding its optimistic message resonant.

Why now: Developers are responding to a widely shared essay pushing back against burnout and cynicism in software culture.
