This kind-of explains how I felt when I was working in software. After we launched a successful product, I lost all motivation to continue open source for some time and eventually I lost my interest in the tech we were working with as well. Still to this day, my commits went down from >1k/yr to less than 10. What helped me was changing to a different industry. I went into electric vehicles and now I write drive by wire firmware. It was really interesting to find that certain industries NEED help from those that know how to write and scale software, because they are traditionally led my the dinosauric.
