I experienced this and I chose to learn a new (programming) language and get a job using it. You mention learning new languages but are you actually switching over to that language? Rather than working in your main language and dabbling at night, use the new languages and tools in your day job. It's generally within reach to either convince people to let you do that where you are or to find a new job. Usually learning is engaging, so if that's not doing it for you, it makes me think 1) you aren't going deep enough and challenging yourself enough or 2) you truly aren't interested in coding anymore. I tend to think it's the former but only you know for sure. I read this article from my RSS reader today and think it's applicable to your situation: http://www.fluentself.com/blog/stuckification/exit-the-middle/ http://www.fluentself.com/blog/stuckification/exit-the-middl...
