Meaningful work will become boring. Pick your favorite dish and have it for 45 days straight and you’ll desperately want something else to eat. Ok, so the counter would be that we need variety of work. But, you can ask someone who travels a lot for work and see if they like this variety of places to see; they don’t. They get sick of variety.
All of these discussions IMO make no sense to me. For every claim, I can find a counter argument. It’s just intellectual masturbation. No progress or insight is to be gained.
- jokethrowaway 3y agoI disagree, I never got tired of building my own products. I get tired of any job after 6 months, after I've seen anything there is to see and to deal with way too much bullshit
- pockybum522 3y agoThis isn't true. I worked for three years helping write automation utilities for an engineering department. I talked to the people who were able to work more easily and effectively due to my work every day. I heard how I was helping them and how I could improve things and I constantly worked to make things work better for them. I absolutely found the work satisfying for multiple years.
