I think this is a commonplace now that it has been decades ago. Information, languages, tools, tutorials, etc. on programming are now much more abundant and accessible than it has ever been. We seem to be cramming in our heads a lot of this information with very little outlet for our own productivity. This "burnout" seems to be due to saturation of ideas but lack of enough creation. I start so many small projects, and abandon them in various degrees of completion (most in early stages), before I get distracted by other reading material. This creates a frustration loop that is vicious, unless you are aware of it and break the cycle somehow. My advice is to step back from HN, reddit, blogs, tech announcements, and focus on one particular project that interests you. Code a little (even a few lines) every day to see progress. Even if you don't feel motivated just open the IDE and clean up some code, it'll feel good and you probably end up working on that new feature.
