Quitting (if possible) is good advice. I stayed on a job longer than I should have, it was horrible. It was some maintenance work, with weird practices and really old code. People who wrote it were long gone.

I was miserable. I lost what little confidence I had in my coding abilities, because for months, I didn’t write any code, just doing maintenance work.

Some people adapt and they succeed in doing their tasks well, even if they are shit tasks. Most people need some amount of creativity and interest to produce anything useful.

Adapt or quit. I’d vote for quitting, but just find another job first, before quitting
