If I had to choose one sentence to quote, it would be this:
_There’s a term for this type of boring software: information systems._
It matches perfectly my experience that developing software is great when the value that you are creating is more than writing the software itself.
Developing a new algorithm and finding the best way to express that in software is nice; writing a program that helps you test a new hardware module you are developing is nice; testing different layouts for your blog can be nice.
On the other hand, working as a software scribe, as in receiving detailed, non-questionable input and being tasked with converting it to a function, becomes tedious pretty fast. Your first CRUD web application may be some fun, but the third will be a déjà-vu.
Sorry to be blunt, but the software development industry can be fine only is your master skill is something other than software development.
