What are some of your recommendations for books, videos, podcasts, or any other media that inspire and spark more passion for programming and computer science in general? I'm interested in hearing how these resources have helped you grow as a programmer.

I found TDD make programming more fun because it results in less debugging. Debugging can be frustrating and depressing when you get stuck.

I've found ChatGPT makes coding more fun, as I don't get stuck as often on hard problems and it can generate boilerplate quick than I can.

Watch videos by Primeagen on Twitch and YT. He's very high energy. Although successful, He has also struggled with depression, drugs, and ADHD in his past, which might be helpful to you. It's inspiring.
