Why would you say that? Most devs I know dont loath their jobs and I know many who actually love it. Never heard dentists, accountants or schoolteachers sound as passionate about their craft as I have devs.
Just curious, but how many dentists do you know personally? I work in a field adjacent to dentistry and interact with many dentists daily.
Itβs shocking to me how many of them are deeply passionate about dentistry and teeth/gums/etc. This may be a situation where I tend to mostly work with successful happy dentists, but the same bias may exist w/ you and developers.
Development is fun, but a lot of work involves non fun stuff, such as unreasonable deadlines, code reviews, grinding algorithms, being to learn a new language in a few hours.
I'd say it still is a lot of fun as long as you optimize for the fun bits and not the highest salaries.
