Well, the site seems to be overloaded now, and I can't read it, but that won't stop me from spouting an opinion: There seems to be a strange interpretation of 'bored' going on here. The best definition I can find of bored or boredom is, essentially: a general feeling of malaise and disinterest brought about by tedium. Now, personally, I've been bored more than I've been engaged in my professional career. Since losing my job and spending all of my time pursuing things that interest me, I've found that I complete fewer tasks, but I'm much more engaged and happier overall. I'm constantly pursuing one interest or another. Currently, I have three ongoing projects that might have commercial value (and about 15 more that are purely to satisfy personal curiosity). Unfortunately, one of the three projects has reached the stage of development where it becomes tedious to complete. So, there's the catch. If you want to complete things, you inevitably have to deal with tedious details, which means you're almost certainly going to spend time feeling bored. One other observation: it's easier to get bored when writing code than when digging a ditch. The latter will tire you physically, but the freedom of thought is quite mentally stimulating. If you don't have any hobbies that involve repeatable physical activity, give it a try.
