This is something I've thought about quite a few times. It's almost counter-intuitive. The community that we surround ourselves in keeps telling us how exciting XYZ technology is. But at the end of the day it comes down to reading documentation/man pages, and trying to implement something that you're trying to get up and running. I ascribe this feeling of boredom that I get partially to my perfectionism. But a lot of the times, it's just...why? Frankly, I'd rather just enjoy life. Programming is great. Latest technology in language XYZ or framework ABC is fantastic. But there's more to life than that. Sorry for rambling. Just got home and it's 1am here :)
