You are probably right but man, isn't this so very disillusioning? I am a bit in such a hole you mentioned and thinking about how to get out of it best - one of my ideas/hopes was to find more "sexy" projects at some point. Oh well.

Look at it this way:

Your boring, cushy tech job only exists because the industry as a whole is grossly inefficient.

That's why so many people are doing nearly the same thing, over and over and over, day after day.

If it wasn't for that inefficiency you would need to find other work, and it would probably be a lot more difficult than your current job.

So, glass half full.

The flip (up)side of a boring job is that you don't get crises that you must deal with but have to do so at great cost or just impossible. Leave the sexy for stuff that you're allowed to fail in.
