It is indeed all fun and pleasure if you are good at it and love it
I don't know if I love it, but it's a lot of fun. More fun than reviewing the code and fixing all the bullshit in the output. That's literally the worst part of software development.
I usually also review my own code, and when I wrote it myself, it's orders of magnitude faster because I recognize what I've written, too, so I'm minimizing the boring part as well. And being more efficient.
I just don't get it.
