The type of engineering I enjoy most is the type you only encounter in university and in interview questions: Small, self contained problems, where you can apply a variation of a data structure or an algorithm you already know to find a satisfyingly elegant solution.
The type I enjoy least is where you need to understand a dozen different systems to figure out why the twenty lines you wrote crash 5% more often than baseline, but only on Tuesdays.
