Do you mean you prefer to just follow instructions given by product managers as a robot rather than exercising your creativity and enjoy coding? Or am I reading your statement wrongly? That sounds like a terrible job to have.

I'm interpreting "creative and fun" as either synonymous with "overly clever" (which is hard to read, hard to debug, and hard to maintain [0][1]), or written a non-standard way just for the sake of being different. For example, here's a collection of FizzBuzz solutions[2]. Most of these are incredibly unreadable.
