>doing something that you feel it has no purpose in the real world Bingo! In fact, i've been doing custom dev for my entire career and i developed an instinct that instantly tells me a good client from a bad one. If something clearly has no purpose in the real world, is an absurd bullshit, then i know it's a good project and worth taking. That's just how business works, a natural law of competition: if something makes any sense and provides any value to people, there will be a lot of talented, energetic people doing it so competition will be insane => no money to be made. After all, it's all just a game, in the end of which money either falls on your account or it doesn't. It's not supposed to make any sense in the first place, otherwise it's no longer a job, it's a hobby.
