In 1983 I spent a few months working on a crud app. Finished it and never worked on another.

Electronics and firmware. I'd be better off financially if database stuff didn't make my eyes bleed.

Everything. It certainly isn’t as sexy as CSS and JavaScript. It doesn’t have the arcane mystical aura of Haskell and Brainfuck. Nor the fanatic intensity associated with Rust and C. Nor the stupid simplistic charm of Go and Ruby. “Select a from b where x join blah blah”. What about that isn’t boring? It’s like ordering around a servant who has to do the real planning and stuff.
