The problem is, what is your alternative? We don't all get to do compelling work. Tade0 said in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16707413 that there's a difference between "hard" and "tedious". Much of tech is tedious, not hard. Quitting because you didn't get "good" work means you go somewhere else, and... what kind of work do you get there? Odds are, not "good".

A better answer (and one that the article seems to recommend) is to not find your identity so much in your work.
