At one point my life turned upside down, imposter syndrome wasn't bearable anymore and trying to find motivation again directly pulled me into burnout.
I was working with a super small team, in my favourite coding languages, was earning really well, very low stress on job and I never witnessed a better company culture. It didn't help.
I quit everything and went travelling, I learned that making some money as a coder is kinda easy so I just did just enough of that to have food and some luxury on the table.
Over time I would just invest more and more time into things I care most about and managed to earn more and more money with it.
It took a while but today I work when I want to and earn enough to don't worry and be able to execute new ideas whenever I want. This is where I found happiness in my life. Less in form of being happy all day, but rather so low stress that I enjoy every moment. May I start farming this spring? Because why not :)
That said my partner isn't there (yet?) She needs validation for her doings, for her low stress means high security also in forms of income. Everyone is different I guess
Edit:// I still code, sometimes sell what I created. But I don't code for others anymore.
