Writing software is generally one of the most frightfully boring tasks
that one can possibly do.

Au contraire, it is one of the most mentally stimulating, have an idea,
jot down a prototype, and within the initial surge of excitement
of creativity, you get success, which then goes on to feed
your excitement.

Get a circuit idea, and it can be a couple of hours before you can check it
out.

Do some machining, and it can take a whole week just to work out how
to hold the workpiece in readiness for cutting!
