I work on "boring" stuff (CRUD, frontend and backend) and love it.
Maybe because I remember all to well what jobs I used to have:
- farm hand (heavy work on smaller less automated farms)
- construction (noisy, wet, dusty etc)
- security
- help desk
Being paid 8 hours a day to work on borderline interesting tasks, getting free lunch, being paid to study etc feels great. Oh, and I can work from home if I need to.
I also make my work interesting by putting some effort into it.
Agree this is a problem. Here's how we make it work:
Work with great people. Also code reviews make sure new dependencies don't usually in unless the team agrees (we are a reasonable bunch).
Standardized on Angular. It seems to me Angular has less churn. Yes: there is a life cycle and we have to follow the releases but it is mostly well documented.
