I think #17 says that software development can be just a job, don't forget to also have a life, don't sacrifice everything just for the job. But at the same time, if it's "just a job" and you find yourself annoyed going to work, doing it at the lowest acceptable quality level, never being proud of some elegant solution, then you'll probably never excel at it and it will be a nuisance for you and your teammates. So those are two different meanings of "just a job".
