I'm much more passionate about what I can create with code vs any part of coding itself. While I wouldn't put too much pressure on it, I think this is the best place to look for if you want to be impassioned by the activity. Of course this is different for everybody, but it's an idea.
I think you also tend to get more passionate about what you're best at — but it's sort of a chicken-egg thing.
Within the craft, I find myself particularly fascinated by matters of latency in Internet-enabled development, i.e. how long it takes for a response to be returned. Based on the speed of light, a response can only be so fast, but there is a lot we can do with infrastructure and code to make things happen faster. I use this idea to try and build services which are globally useful, as opposed to just fast if you happen to live on the east coast of the USA.
I mention that only because it may get your imagination going. Good luck!
