Ask HN: Did you know whether you preferred programming or game design?

Since making a game involves both, it might not have been obvious which you liked better when you were doing hobby programming.

Myself I got into programming long before I got interested in game design. These days I am interested in what I'd call "non-fiction games" that use game techniques to other ends. For instance, gamification of commerce or social media. I have a project on my Kanban board to develop an "art gallery" based on Web XR that will let me publish my stereograms to the MQ3... If I can figure out the memory management angle.

My question is does this guy

like composing music better or game design?
