Although old, you're working on one of the most famous computers in all of computer science.

I'm sure there are challenges and "frustrations" but I would wager none of the involved engineers are displeased on the project. It would be fascinating and fulfilling

Frustrating, fascinating, and fulfilling are not mutually exclusive. Neither is honored.

You could have a task to do that's fascinating, but then it's frustrating to complete because of external reasons out of your control, but that when you still solve/complete them are fulfilling.

It's not an either/or thing.

When paired with "having to work on" the tone is quite loaded, even if unintended.

Well that's the problem with trying to communicate with text only, human beings really need to see other human beings faces so they can help interpret the words being said with facial gestures that augment the meaning of the words, and we don't get that on online forums.

Emojis are supposed to help with that, but for some reason they seem to be out of vogue these days, and people who use them tend to be mocked for doing so, so we're back to just straight text and interpreting the tone of what's being said the best you can with the other person is saying.

And, if they're paid to do the work, then they 'have to work' on the problem, as I don't think they can just tell their boss they don't feel like doing that today. I don't think those words are loaded with negative intent, just descriptive of the job duties.

Finally, I can't control others people's fanboyness (for lack of a better term) and how it may make them defensive. I can only state my opinion straightforward and clearly, and hope their interpreted properly, for tone.

To be honest, I believe you're loading more into that sentence then what's actually there.
