I might be in the minority, but I get more excited about the idea of maintaining/working on some creaky old legacy code base than I do about the idea of starting a new project from scratch.
I enjoy this too, but it’s kind of rough when you’ve inverted control, teased apart unnecessary coupling, updated dependencies and backed everything with unit and other tests, but then your colleagues are too scared to code review it.
I find that working on production code with well defined use cases and requirements to be the most satisfying, and working on new proof of concept / demos / marketing tools to be the least satisfying.
So on balance, more of the legacy projects I’ve worked on have fit those criteria than the new builds, but the couple of new builds that had well defined use cases, and no legacy code to deal with were the absolute best.

Is there a generator for these?
There are a few from a search, this one came up with a GitHub repo. https://arthurbeaulieu.github.io/ORlyGenerator/
Just use the paint, internet person
Bu-but we’re programmers
Do you have more of these memes? I’d like to see more.
Shared this with my team just recently. Guess there is a lot more of these brilliant edits.
Nice! Thanks. :3
Is there a bigger resolution btw?
From the last time this came up I got most of them from this guys collection.

Thank you for this.
Nice collection. Thanks! :)

Feeling of deleting lines > Feeling of adding lines
Ha, turns out there’s one for that
Yes, me too! But, only if I have the autonomy to improve things where I can. Otherwise, I just find it demotivating
