Ask HN: Have you found something you love to do? If yes how?
I love to write code, I love to ship products and I love to build businesses.<p>But what I really love, what drives me, is solving interesting problems. That's my entire career. Solve interesting problems.<p><pre><code>    "We're building a web2.0 exercise tracking..." No!
    "We're putting health records on the block..." Nein!
    "We're improving how people buy insuran..." Non!
    "We're creating a mobile app to submit expens..." Nee!
    "We're building a SaaS to improve cable modem analy..." Nie!


    "We're using computer vision to identify fossilized cat shit." Oh hell yes!

I've built websites and CRUD apps and mobile apps, out of necessity, but they are universally boring endeavours with little to give them any merit beyond a tiny sliver of an interesting problem. Most of the work that is out there is just grunt work that should be farmed out and then extensively code reviewed.<p>At meetups people ask me, "what do you do?"<p>And I respond, "Whatever the !@#$ I want to, it makes money, and everyone goes home happy."<p>I haven't worked a day in my life. I play, every day. And any time I've come close to discovering "it's just another job" I go and find something else to do.<p>My response on LinkedIn or AngelList when approached by business people and recruiters with their dreadful job opening is usually along the lines of "Thanks for making me aware of this opportunity. Sounds boring. Good luck in your continuing candidate search."
