Ask HN: Got out of coding, burnt out, how to get back in?

Looking for suggestions on what technologies are worth learning right now, both for fun factor and for employability. My current plans are to learn some Cloud stuff and get back into .NET for employability, try some game making with a friend in Python and PyGame for fun, and do another attempt at functional programming most likely with Haskell (previously did some SICP, and it made me a better programmer everywhere). I'm originally a .NET/C# developer for five years doing nothing particularly innovative, switched jobs and spent three years doing customer support /onboarding with very lightweight JavaScript/HTML work and maintenance. Decided to get into Product Requirements and have been in that for slightly under two years. I've enjoyed writing requirements and product specifications, but everything else I found exhausting. I'm not naturally talented at UX, and dealing with the politics is brutal and demoralizing (departments refusing to co-operate but pretending on the surface to be helpful; management not having a unified vision; no serious analysis on what projects we should be doing so we spent a year on a product that clients have not adopted). I realize that this might be just my company and other companies might be different, but I'm at the point where I have no interest in the work and don't really feel passionate about designing some perfect product and talking to the users. If nothing else, I need to get back into coding for a few years to just recharge my batteries. Has anyone here been in a similar situation? Tips on recharging energy? Tips on getting back into coding and what technologies should I focus on now? Would really like to get out of web front-end browser crap with changing frameworks every six months (should I even bother to look at Angular or is it already replaced?), but I've done a bunch of HTML/CSS/JS and I'm comfortable in back end.
