I didn't really interpret it like that. While there's certainly situations where one feels burned out and lacking motivation, I think his point was more about entire fields of work that you find demoralizing.

For me, this is mostly doing design work. It's a necessary evil on small projects, but I really struggle with it a lot of the time because I'm not especially good at it, while I think I have a pretty good eye for what looks like shit and what doesn't. With programming, even the most menial tasks I can get lost in much easier.
