I think programming is fun, but yes doing a lot of corporate projects for a long time can get tiresome. Try going for lighthearted - automate a silly thing for yourself. Something to make your life 0.002% easier. Sure the cost benefit is not going to make you rich, but doing something for yourself is quite different and can be a bit of fun. My best silly program is called 'heater' - I was coding a lot at night and in winter it was pretty cold. Heater was simply a loop with a lot of maths calculations on repeat which increased the load on the (high end at the time) PC. It had a nice little gui which allowed you to set the temp you wanted.
