I think I am contradictory when it comes to software : I don't enjoy maintaining something that breaks all the time: dependencies, system upgrades, deployment scripts and things that aren't 100% working reliably every time.

So my ideal system is to run a simple binary against a file or SQLite database and have it work reliably everytime. Not a complicated micro service architecture with lots of indirection and keep things running on network.

But balancing this with my hobby of designing multithreaded software.
