Checks out. Every job has its interesting moments, but becoming excellent at something requires periods of tedium.

That's true. It's like that with cooking and baking, too.

And with testing.

And learning an instrument, and playing a sport...

Perhaps, play, not work, is the most important human thing.

Facts!

Everyone’s chasing hype… real wealth is in doing the boring stuff — over and over — better than anyone else.

Stack sats, build habits, write code, pray daily. It’s not sexy, but it works. Master the mundane, and the riches follow.
