First you say you "love coding", and I'm with you, but then you say this, and I'm not with you at all, and I think the difference might be your ticket out of your predicament. There are some foods I "love" but would quickly grow sick of if I had to eat them every day. I love them as treats but would hate them as staples. There are other foods that I merely like but have no problem eating every day. I wouldn't want to keep eating anything after I'm full, but I'm not sick of the food, just full. Tomorrow when I'm not full, I'll feel like eating it again. A staple for me. You may have to reconsider the difference between treat and staple, coding and "meaningful human interaction". Coding remains a staple for me even though I'm often "overfed" with poorly prepared fare. I'll still want more tomorrow. So when you say you "love coding", I think, well, me too, although maybe not as much as you do--but it turns out that we're not actually the same at all. You're more "normal". You may have to switch to a job where human interaction (the meaningful part--well, maybe sometimes) provides your staple and the coding is a special treat you indulge in on days when you feel like it.
