Something I'm dealing with too. I've found that to enjoy programming you really need to: - Stop comparing yourself to other people, - Shut yourself off from new tech and "Show HN" every now and then, to focus on what you want. - Have a project which isn't too serious and doesn't stress you out financially or burn you out (a game, invention or experimental project is usually good for this) - Lastly try other forms of work/exercise to help you switch-off. When you come back to your work you'll have a little more appreciation for the craft you've dedicated a decade too. Remember that these points are easier said then done... I'm still struggling to remember the joy of programming...
