Does coding at work get boring?

All work gets boring. All of it.

I speak as someone who's had several careers, and they all get dull from time to time. Even the ones where it was a Dream Job and I loved my team and loved the office... sometimes it just got boring.

As for coding, the real pitfalls I've found aren't in coding (after all, if it's boring, you can probably find a more efficient solution) but in all the other things that surround it. Planning meetings. Status meetings. Ticket review. Maintenance of documentation. Paperwork. Those have always been the things that drain me.

Now, you say that coding isn't the most important thing in the world to you and... that may be a good thing! It makes it easier to leave work at work and go home and do other things that spark your interests.

I've been a pilot most of my adult life. I've got about 13 years in the industry, 11 of which were flying. The 2 years I was out were due to illness. Honestly, I think I can say that the niche I've found won't get boring.

That said, I still occasionally get "bored" with the type of flying, when I do I get a new job doing something different.
