I'm not a code monkey but, in my current place of work, there is no much place for creativity (micromanaging) and I miss that. I'm trying to learn some things on the side (because I'm not assigned enough challenging tasks.

Well, I don't necessarily mean just creativity in that sense but also where you have a problem to solve and during a walk or shower you get that flash of inspiration, a way to solve it that comes from your brain making unexpected connections... I find that one of the most satisfying aspects of the work.

Though maybe I'm lucky in that I have very broad architectural responsibilities in my job...
