I too like finding the logic behind how everything works and how to implement a certain feature. And I can think up innovative (and effective/efficient) solutions to problems, But I find it very boring to translate that into lines of code.
For example, I can think up a way in which users will never have to register or login to individual websites, by storing all their information on their browsers, and I can find a millions flaws in that concept and solutions for all of them. And I have fun doing that. But I could never sit and write the thousands (or millions) of lines of code to make that work.
I think this might be where the disconnect is. If you think up solutions and translate them into code, then I can certainly imagine the translating part could be very boring. That's the 1960s model of software development (still going strong in some quarters, of course).
Programmers think up solutions in code. If you stick with it you'll probably eventually come to realise this.
