I agree with this. There was an NPR piece https://www.npr.org/transcripts/15732097 https://www.npr.org/transcripts/15732097 Where a girl goes to Paris to learn to cook thinking it will be glamorous like the movie Sabrina and instead it's like military drilling to be efficient but even with all of that she says feeding people makes you feel like a god. I think the concept is similar for software engineering. Not feeling like a god but some people think "how could you possibly stare at a computer screen for so many hours a day. Sounds mind numbingly boring" where as to some software engineers it's the most creatively freeing environment there is and they thrive in it.
