I disagree pretty strongly with this. Who gets excited about data entry, invoices, warehouses and shipments, documentation, sanitation, etc.?

Games designed purely for excitement hold my attention for a month or two before I need a break. After about 8 years of playing more Factorio than anything else I am at 1800 hours. How on earth can anybody maintain excitement on a single thing for 2000 hours a year, every year? Don't get me wrong, I'm excited by things my company does, but my day job involves a lot of boring necessities. I strongly suspect this is true of most jobs.

I obsessively chase my curiosity and excitement in my spare time, and I have a pile of unfinished projects to show for it.

I love the sentiment, I just feel it's not reality for most.
