Have kids or get a hobby. I'm in the same boat tbh, I don't find interesting things with programming anymore, maybe when I did it was just that I had less other stuff to do. I'd rather learn something new now e.g. last year I started doing some home music recording/production. What is your goal - if you want to upskill for your career or to start a business, fine, if not find something else to do.

I was going to write something similar, "start a family". However, the problem is that that's not just something you _just do_ - it's not like you wake up one morning and decide, "I'm going to start a family", and boom! out come the rug rats. Getting a hobby is orders of magnitute easier.

      Arguably the very beginning of this process is also satisfying.

I frequently see people respond to those struggling with feeling empty in life or lost by telling the person “have kids” and it always disturbs me. (I’m a 35 year old childless married man)
