Ask HN:Ok to be in programming if you hate the process but love the result?

I've been really debating this a lot. The process vs. the result. I think I'm finally more admitting to myself that I actually dislike the majority of the process of making a web site/application. For me, I just want to have the working app or prototype or functionality on the other side. I want to solve a specific problem. That's why I develop/code. The process is mostly just endless tedious task after endless tedious task.

Is it ok to stay in web development if you generally loathe the process and are only in it for the end result?

Does anyone else here face this dilemma?
