Most projects are fun when they're a greenfield and then become a slog by the end when they're in maintenance mode with layers of cruft. My goal on any new project is to keep the "fun" going for as long as possible.
- generic92034 2y agoAfter a decade or two of maintaining a complex, "grown" application it might be become fun again. You really know all the quirks, all important patterns and call chains. You know the pains of the customers/users and, if you have the time, might be able to do something about it. Frankly, starting every other year on a completely new application/system does not sound so much fun to me, now that I am programming for more than four decades.
