I have to admit, I loved that talk that Zed gave and it influenced myself and a few of my coworkers quite a bit. Unfortunately, I refuse to allow my day job to stifle my creativity. I'm pretty hell bent on innovation and finding new and better ways to do things. Personally, I feel that your day job is in part what you make of it. If you expect it to suck, it will. Now, that's not to say it won't suck for other reasons.
