I am reminded of a commend I read on HN a few years ago. "Here lies marvin, who valiantly sacrificed his life in the name of progress. Thanks to his heroic efforts, the trees in GTA 7 look very good." I'd love to read a proper study on how people experience different types of hard work. I've worked overtime myself, and it's been a memorable experience when it's been for just a few weeks or months, and in pursuit of something that meaningfully advances the world. But it would not be fun if it was only a peripheral advance, or it happened regularly. For me, it only works if it's something exceptional, to be done a few times.
