>I am a maker. I build things for people to use and maintain. So you're dev ops? Jokes aside, do you really have a passion for maintaining projects? This is something I deeply struggle with and any advice on the subject I would be deeply grateful for. I thought I could deal with it and enjoy a project in the long run if it had no bugs, so I worked on some of the code the internet runs on, where even putting in one bug would make parts of the internet go down world wide. (Which I did do btw. Sorry.) I both hated and loved that job, but in the end, even in a "bug free" code base, so maintaining it was only feature requests for the most part, I still lost passion over time. I switched to Data Science, writing code I know will be scrapped. I write mockups to analyze data. It's a lot of fun! But to me it's just running away from the issue. How did you gain passion for maintaining code bases? If you have a story, it would mean a lot to me. I'd love to hear it.
