I did a brief stint as an architect and realised after about 3 months of doing that, that the things that had started to annoy or bore me about programming were all quite trivial things and I should just get over myself.

So basically, take a break from programming and do something else for a bit, and don't sweat the little things that annoy you day-to-day -- try to appreciate instead all the creative freedom and chances you get to really test your intellect.
