I don't have a solution. I highly enjoyed programming in school, I was learning non-stop. Everyday was filled with new concepts, most people around me eager to learn.....then I entered the work force, red tape, politics, plus I cannot pull all nighters anymore. Then, there is life outside of work, health, family, kids. I think as things become a routine, it becomes boring. You could seek a new employer but at some point you will realize most employers won't offer anything you haven't done before and unicorns are hard to find unless you are extremely smart.
Now, programming is a job. I do what is required, collect paychecks and chill out after work.
- newby 5y agoI probably should have mentioned that programming is not my job now. After that burnout experience I found a job that is not very demanding and I have no trouble performing that... except maybe it feels a bit boring after a few years and the desire to do something exciting once again grows inside me. However, so far I have not been able to. It's weird - I feel excited about something but when I try to work on it, the level of discomfort is overwhelming. I mean, I always had troubles with procrastination like every other guy... but this is whole new level.
