I think you just need a shift in thinking Jan, work is only as meaningless as YOU make it.. anything can have meaning and value if you want it to

Amit Dutta

So you've already made some prejudgments about what your journey will be like? What do you mean years of making "stupid" work? You mean just not technically good or bad freelance
