This is such a bad faith argument that’s putting words in the author’s mouth. We all just want to be motivated to come to work everyday and be working on a product that we find interesting. I hope everyone understands everything can’t be a toy project (I think people do understand this) and even if something is interesting or meaningful it will still involve some level of “bullshit work” - the stuff you’ve listed. Every job has a bullshit to fun ratio and I think the author wants a fun part that he’s interested in and a ratio that’s acceptable. Nobody expects that ratio to be zero.
