Your experience is not all experiences. Plenty of us have never written a crud app and never will. Sounds boring, and it’s not like it pays better than working on systems or algorithms.

I’m not saying it “pays better”. What I am saying is that statistically that’s where most of the jobs are.

I don’t go to work not to be bored. After dealing with computers for over 30 years there is nothing that excites me about computers. It’s a way to fund my lifestyle and to pay for outside interests.

I'd estimate that 90% of developers are working on CRUD apps, if you work on algorithms in your day job you are definitely in the minority.
