Yes, feeling similar. I was dreaming of so many things, but with time I learn how much harder they are to implement than they seem. Computers can do so many things potentially, yet they are so much harder to actually achieve for various technical and political reasons. I wish I had infinite amount of free time to pursue all them.
New gadgets barely make me excited as they used to -- if anything I usually anticipate how I'll have to spend time finding my ways around vendor locks and making them interoperable. Perhaps the only thing that still excites me these days is reading Pinephone news -- really hope it takes off and liberates mobile computing.

I tend to start a bunch of ambitious projects that get walled quickly due to costs or complexity. Mind you none of these are side hustles or ever monetizable, but the cost still runs out of hand quickly. It also doesn't help that I find that the skills I need now are exactly the things that I'm not very good at
