This question is very relatable to me that I decided to make my first HN post. My situation may not apply to you, but I hope you found it helpful. I self-taught myself into a front-end position at 30 (with help of connection.) Several years later I'm still at the same position, I still like my job, but I don't love it. The coding part of the job is not boring nor challenging. I'm the oldest one in my team, with the shortest developer experience. Most of my co-workers are either from good university or started coding since early teen, or both. They are more skilled than me, and more passionate toward coding than me. Work with them causes anxiety and imposter syndrome. The worst part is, regarding front-end territory, I don't have the fire to improve anymore. I still enjoy coding now, but I stopped browsing github daily, looking for new tech and tools to play years ago. If a piece of information is necessary for my job, I will study it, but that's it. My attention, however, is at indie game development these years. It's a passion and dream I have had since teen and had never took it seriously until about 3 years ago. I plan to do it solo, and to make my vision happening, I need to study every aspect of game development. Planning, programming, art, sound, you name it. Now I have motivation for a lot of topics, all of them new and challenging to me.
