Depends on the coding task.

"Here, make minor tweaks to our established codebase, for stability or for minor enhancement X, our working practices are set in stone, our coding style is ancient and you will have no creative control or input"

Yeah, that's boring, however much you love code.

"Here, we've got some ideas, but they needs to be transformed into a product. You'll be part of a small team making the important decisions and figuring out the best way to take this forward, technology decisions, working practices etc are all up for definition and change, have at it"

This is far more interesting.
