Exactly. I spent 35+ years designing/coding/testing and supporting software systems. Wife couldn't understand why I enjoyed working on cars, remodeling houses, even yardwork in my spare time.
Because I could actually see something tangible I actually finished is why. As the old saying goes in software, you never actually finish a system, you just eventually abandon it. Long live COBOL !!
