No, not this stuff. The electronics, software, etc itself becomes less
challenging in itself, but the fun part is that every application is different.
If you enjoy the "boy's own annual" sort of stuff, it's great.

Today I'm working on an automatic gearbox shifter, yesterday it was a
fertilizer spreading system. I know more about the issues involved in
growing grass, air conditioning open plan offices, killing dust mites,
measuring milk production and packaging snack foods than I ever
thought could be known. I am a wealth of useless information.

A reasonable analogy would be to ask if driving gets old. As long as you
are driving to new places and challenges, it never gets old.
