I left an old job after automating it. It was insanely tedious and boring, so I built an automation platform. Went on to a job that I liked even less. About a year later I got a call asking me to come back and rebuild the automation engine into an official product for the company.
It was awesome and I got to make it a lot more robust. And since it was built directly into the platform instead of made as a hacky layer on top of it, it worked so much better. That was a lot of fun for me.
It was a decent raise at the time. Too bad I got into professional software development about 6 years before this latest market crash. Been unemployed since November because much more experienced devs are also out of work.

Sounds exciting. I hope you got a decent pay raise.
