It seems like it's important to you that you find coding fun, so it's disappointing that you're not motivated to dig into your work. I think if you're in a situation where you can comfortably accomplish the work tasks without having to learn anything, and you have to do this reliably, then of course that's going to be boring. - The same state as "nearly finished" the other side project in the CommitStrip comic https://www.commitstrip.com/en/2014/11/25/west-side-project-story/ https://www.commitstrip.com/en/2014/11/25/west-side-project-... I think a lot of the fun I had when I first start coding was it's very easy to be curious about things, and to chase that curiousity. - One model I've heard for "motivated at work" is it's a combination of autonomy, building mastery, and a purpose/sense of belonging. (Many of the other comments suggest increasing some aspect of one of these). I'd say tech isn't inherently interesting; especially not if you have a pretty good understanding for how some technology works.
