There's a speech in the movie Parenthood [1] that expresses a lot of what you just said. With a kid (or kids), the highs are higher, the lows lower. Some want to be on a roller coaster, others are happier on a merry-go-round.

This blog almost immediately reminded me of grandma’s speech to Gil in the movie Parenthood. “…that a ride could make me so frightened, so scared, so sick, so excited and so thrilled all together. some didn’t like it. they went on the merry-go-round. that just goes around… nothing… I like the roller-coaster. you get more out of it”. Yes, there is a giant mess around building applications for today’s users! But that is where is the fun, excitement, and innovation is coming from. If you require safe, secure, and boring I’m sure there is bank somewhere in the world that need a good COBOL developer.
