Jobs that require creativity should allow for free time, to let inspiration come to you rather than try to summon it. I think programming is one of those jobs. And if you are always coding, always against a schedule, it's easy to burn out because you went against the essence of your work.

Most programming jobs are as creative as brick laying. So yeah there is some wiggle room to put your own style but you are just implementing CRUD(in it's different complexities and variations) and integrating APIs.

Are you sure CRUD is as creative as brick laying? They can't just copy paste stuff from Stackoverflow when they run into problems :)

Once you get the option choose between using browser native fetch or Axios, the sky is the limit.

in brick laying your brain can wander and think about other things, listen to the music and imagine you are living in perfect world without any problems at home. Your hands will be tired, but your brain can take a rest
in most programming jobs, even though you are doing CRUD, your brain should direct you into specific direction (open file.js, put after if (x > 0) block and so on), which tires your brain.
