“This was version 2.something when I started, I’ve been working on this for n years and it’s still version 2.something” sure sounds like a demotivating feeling

  Interesting! If I worked on a product that was version 2.1 when I started, and 5 years later was on version 6.5 without any actual rewrites or improvements in it, I would find that just as demotivating.

    If I worked on something for 5 years with no rewrites/improvements, I'd be demotivated as crap, no matter the version number...

      Realistically, I think there are a lot of people working in these sorts of situations. Such a stable environment would leave a lot of room for side projects on a stable paycheck, or getting some extracurricular qualifications.

        Yeah, and I've been in a similar situaton. A year in, and my wife told me I needed to get a new job cause that one was making me "depressed"
