You know you can make your greenfield project messy, right?
Over the past few years, I discovered I really enjoy projects that are uncertain, where nobody knows yet how it's all supposed to work and what the end result is going to look like. Projects where you try stuff only to throw it away. I've done projects like that, and they were my favourite projects ever. I love to experiment, crank our a quick proof of concept, only to rewrite it in a different framework and refactor it several times over the first year.
