> It bothers me too. I am a SWE because I love solving problems!

In my case, I've recently been wondering whether I really love solving problems, or rather just hate stupid bullshit and solving it - quickly and efficiently - is usually the best way to make it go away for good.

In many cases, the behavior is identical - I just find myself to be motivated by frustration more often than curiosity these days.



Yeah, I can relate. I would say I am motivated by frustration more than curiosity as well, not just with regarding to my partner but in general.
