"I have been programming for a very long time. So long that it is incredibly boring to me."
But you do of course later say:
"This doesn't mean I think programming is boring, or that you will think it's boring, only that I find it uninteresting at this point in my journey."
And, of course:-
"Programming as a profession is only moderately interesting. It can be a good job, but if you want to make about the same money and be happier, you could actually just go run a fast food joint."
To me that all seems a little contradictory, but ultimately seems to say to me 'actually, after all these years I've seen through all the naive bullshit and realised that it is, in fact, rather boring'.
There are obviously crap and boring aspects to any activity, but how on earth can you say the act of doing something is interesting, but the profession itself is not? Do you mean to say that everything in the profession other than the programming is boring? Well I'd disagree with that too, though less emphatically.
