I'm going to say, on a random job board, this is actually the vast minority of jobs. Most, even at FAANG, have lots of unsexy maintenance that just needs to get done. Even in fancy machine learning land (where I work) 99% of the work is fairly 'boring' in the traditional sense.
Also, there is a strong bias to talk about 'sexy' work outside the company. For a variety of dev marketing reasons. Nobody does a conference talk about the uninteresting boring work that gets done.

- rufius 5y agoI had a job with a lot of ML and Data Science a few years back. I learned that the job really should’ve been called “Data Janitor”. 90-95% if the work was cleaning data sets and making sure that last update in some ML library we used didn’t mess up something.
