HN poll result: ~50% have lost at least partially interest in programming.
I don't know how representative this poll is of HN users, but it's surprising given the tech focus of the site.

- terrellm 16y agoSeeing as how the question was worded - "Have you lost interest in programming?" and how the OP says he no longer enjoys programming - causes me to place a lesser value in the responses. It's clearly a bias in the wording of the question. If it had been worded "Most programmers don't lose interest in programming. Have you?" then I'd expect to see a completely different set of results from the same respondents. That's nothing against the respondents and nothing against the OP, it's just human nature.
