I have to disagree with some of the posters in this thread...
In my experience, writing the "boring", bred and butter code can be extreamly satisfying!
Take your time visiting the users of the code that you write, and see how they get about doing THEIR everyday job. They do their job using the result of YOUR work!
I sat for like 3 years at an IT company developing a system for planing all the technincal resources at a TV company, you know like studios and cameras and all the personel and stuff. It was really comlex and a big no-no explaining to my friends. Crap job!
Eventually they gave me a tour, and besides seeing alot of famous people, I saw all my boring reports plasterd on the walls in all the offices. I walked by like a famous director and there my hard work was lying on his desk.
Well, famous or not, thats when I realised that all this work is actually making sence.
Nowadays I work for insurance comanys, boring business. But the cute girls an women in all the departments love when I make their work easier.
Just make sure you visit the person who use your stuff and you will see the light!
