I have this weird polarity in the work I enjoy. I'm like you in that I enjoy just making things work, even when they're trivial. I particularly like doing it for other individuals. On the other hand, I also enjoy harder research problems. Obsessing and learning new things quickly is probably the biggest joy I get out of work. What I hate is the middle ground. I hate solving trivial problems, but in a high-pressure environment, for people I'm only circumstantially committed to.
