Having fun when programming should be much more important than having correct or fast code when you're a programmer and should be what we should aim for first.
That's only remotely reasonable if you're a weekend warrior that messes with coding as a pastime. Even so, I'm not sure what fun you can extract from dealing with slow, broken code.
It can be rewarding. For me, this has a lot to do with team culture. Am I supported and given the time needed to make improvements as I go or am I constantly rushing to make a deadline?
So much. When I'm trusted to find the right balance of productivity and quality, I enjoy the work more. When I enjoy the work, I'm more productive and write better code. It's a positive feedback loop.
