If I give up, what else am I going to do? I don't love everything about this job, but there isn't a lot else out there that pays you to build things. If you're not in a position where you are happy or interested in what you're building, you might be able to work towards your in a place where you can.

I wasn't always motivated by the work I was doing, but I got to the point where I was. And if I ever get too burnt out by what I'm currently doing, there's always an opportunity to take everything I've learned and apply it elsewhere.
