I mean, I don't think the advice of "work on projects you're passionate about" is wrong. It's just that personally... I feel the passion maybe 10% of the time, even on projects I'm really excited by. I feel passion sharing stuff, hitting big milestones, etc. But I need more than that to get myself through the grind of the unpleasant bits.
