From the sound of it the problem is less about making software and more about your job.
A piece of advice that I have seen crop up a few times on this subject is to figure out how to distinguish what you do from where you do it. Programming can be a job and and it can be a hobby. In this context it is easy to let your hobby become your job and then your job become your hobby, which can quickly lead to burn out once your job starts to suck.
As someone who got out of farming and into programming I would suggest looking into other options before pulling weeds for the next 24 months. One option that you may want to look into is Recurse Center which is a great place for software people dealing with burn out to reconnect with what brought them into coding in the first place.
