Should programming feel like work?

I think I'm very fortunate because I don't see coding or programming as work. I see it as a challenge and I do it on my own time sometimes just to figure out something. I recently came out with a quote that we will put on our website. 'I want to learn all the mysteries of programming'. This is just a journey for me, and I'm doing it because I love it, and it's not forced because when I was at university, you have to learn a lot of stuff because you just have to.
