For me, I like programming because I can automate arduous and repetitive tasks. Instead of entering 200 values into fields I can write a program in 10 minutes that does it for me and can do it again and again. I also like the problem solving aspect of programing as a brain teaser; how can I solve a certain problem and what steps are needed to make it happen. Further to that the work that I do with servers allows me to understand the working of programs and apply fixes as needed. For me, programming isn't an everyday skill but my knowledge of it comes up almost every day.
