When programming became a chore

A conversation I had with one of my teachers in ninth grade still comes back to me occasionally. We were discussing how to interact with people, and how to do so without coming off as an arrogant asshole. This was certainly an issue that warranted discussing. She knew I liked programming, and suggested approaching it as a problem that needed solving. At some point, she suggested the business jargon of "solutions", having heard that from somebody in the tech industry.
