This. This times a thousand.

Every problem I overcome is a lesson learned that enriches my life and makes me more valuable.

The results are nice but it's the journey and understanding that matter to me.

There's more value in having a team of people who understand the problem domain so deeply that they can create a computer system to automate the solution. When things go wrong, and they will, you have to have the understanding in order to confidently resolve the issue.

"But AI can do it!"

Sure.

But can you?

Sometimes the problem is just dealing with someone else's janky spreadsheet and obstinance...

There is no inherent honor in toil.
