We don't want to fix such tasks, especially if they are repetitive.
I agree especially with the repetitive part. An old professor of mine said, "if it feels like a computer could be doing this, it should be doing this." Meaning that if you found yourself doing some menial task over and over again, you're doing it wrong. Get the computer to do it for you.
We'd love to fix architectural issues or design and build systems.
These are definitely the more exciting and engaging things to work on. They're also the most expensive things to work on from a business perspective. Fixing a broken architecture can take years depending on the software in question. I'm not saying it's not fun to do. I'm mainly saying that, if we design clean architecture and write clean code, the issues we'll have as we maintain and continue to grow our software projects will be much simpler to solve.
