I've fought through MUCH more boredom during my startup career than at any other point. Startups are great fun while you're building the product. Then you release it, and while you'd love to be implementing new features you're really stuck maintaining the beast you've unleashed onto the world. In a startup there is no one else to give you a hand when things break. There is no one else to share the load of those boring tasks (deployments, unit tests, browser/phone compatibility, etc...). Even then you'll spend most of your time refining existing features, not inventing new technology. At the end of the day, every god-awful task is on you (or a small team). While there are spikes of interesting problems, it will be a small part of what you do.
