You are not even reading the comments you are replying to. When you are immersed in a field for a long time, and master it in and out, there's a good chance you'll be able to find something interesting about it. If you can't, you won't start a new company to solve some problem either.
I read the comment. He’s telling me that people are passionate about things that they’re obviously not passionate about. It feels like gaslighting. When I read job descriptions that tell me I’m supposed to care about some guy’s boring company that does nothing interesting I always thought we were just playing a game where we both pretend I care so everything runs smoother. Am I wrong? I genuinely can’t believe people like this think their employees care. He is either a troll or he’s delusional.
Payroll software is just a placeholder for the most boring thing I can imagine.
