Personally, I’ve felt the most fulfilled when I’m pushing the limits of my knowledge and building something that matters. And after 10 years, I’m finally comfortable in saying that I know a lot about web development. I’ll never know everything, but my core skills seem to carrying me through the ever-changing complexities of the web. It’s honestly a great feeling. A tendency I’ve noticed in myself is becoming discouraged when my job neither recognizes my growing skills, or even has a technical need for them. I’ve got no delusions that I’m some coding legend. I just want to be one…someday. All that to say, finding satisfaction from a job you dislike is tough, and possibly a road to burnout. Personally, I would rather look for positions that seem technically interesting and have nice people. Companies are usually too invested in their business model than being good for the world. Do what you can.
