I personally like programming and problem solving, and in theory should love my job, but I really don’t.

Intuitively, I want to blame daily standups, the obsession with JIRA and microtasks, and OKR and the like, for sucking the joy out of it.\nHowever, thinking about it more, I’m starting to suspect that it might be somewhat inherent to the fact that these jobs are part of the economy, and as such, the day-to-day is eventually driven by doing whatever makes money for the company.\nMaybe that’s why many of us have side projects.

So my question is, is there anyone here who can say that they love their job?\nIf so, what is that you do?
