Offtopic but I remembered one HN comment about where someone was working for an internal app for a company for the fast food/ice-cream or food app in general (or maybe it was for the contractor)

I think some people found that job really peaceful when others might've found it more frustrating.

To me, I think though the issue isn't the scale or even the internal part of it but rather in this case, there's a difference because its being used infrequently (1 hour) as compared to that other HN comment was still being used quite frequently (it was used every day)

Though, I must admit, I don't find it too frustrating. I can be wrong I usually am but, Sysadmin/DevOps/Security engineer does the work as well where sometimes 1 hour can matter much more than months and they do work for months so that they don't get to face that 1 hour issue just because of how devastating it can get, Though Sysadmins do a lot of regular work as well.

There are many jobs where they exist for reasons where the employee exists to handle the bad things. You would wish for the bad thing to not happen and the employee might feel like they might not be doing much if the bad thing doesn't happen, BUT when that bad thing happens, You would be happy that they would then be there for you.

Maybe not a direct 1:1 comparison but hopefully I can express my point. I feel like there are many jobs in tech, or maybe in the world in general which fall into a similar fashion?
