The fun should come from solving fundamentally difficult problems, not from someone fucking up a CRUD response because they didn't properly test their filter parsing.
Lots of companies have no "fundamentally difficult problems" when it comes to their software. Lots of software developers don't have any of these problems to solve.
(I'm also against this "YOLO because it's fun" attitude, though.)
If this is the case you still have a fundamentally difficult problem, it's just become something like "how can we keep our velocity while also improving test coverage / reliability?" and the solution is usually some new internal tooling.
