I find the current work extremely engaging. A customer can ask for a fairly complex feature and 25 minutes later, I’ll show it to them.
In the past, I’d have to put it on the roadmap, prioritize it, debate it. It’d take 25 days instead of 25 minutes. More often than not, we would have never done the feature because it was deemed not impactful enough for all customers.
Today’s world is much more gratifying to me.
