How to kill monotonicity?

Like, I like my work... I enjoy my work. I'm building things from scratch.

But the monotonicity is really making me bored and demotivated.

Electric shocks?

Delete master branch

Automate more.

Get time for experimentation without objectives. Funny thing is that most innovations stem from this seemingly given up time.

Actively seek new tech to integrate into your stack and/or rewrite/refactor existing features in cool, newer things.

@oh-4-fucks-sake no time to work on things that already work, we have to move at a fast pace constantly building new services

What I'm going to write, probably doesn't apply to you. Bu my personal experience and can be described using the words you used.

@BugsBuggy this is probably an illusion set up by someone else higher up in the ladder. I work under a similar pressure at work and I started to feel really demotivated as well until I decided that I am going to have fun building things the way I love to work.

Sure it sounds hard to sell, but it is worth it. I started doing this about 2 months ago. And I am delivering way more features than my colleagues that are still stuck in the move fast and break things mentality.

And what's more important, I am actually enjoying myself, I can keep up momentum and I write fewer bugs than before.

Now, it has its challenges.

You work more, but it is more fun.

Sometimes you'll lose momentum and it is really really hard gain it back.

You have to have the guts to stick to your method and trust yourself.

It might decrease to bus factor of your team.
