I wouldn't say that I get angry or fatigued so much as disappointed or even merely not excited about most new things.
The thing that changed for me is probably to stop blaming my tools and learn to apply things I learn from other places to my current work and tools. That's a lot of space in itself.
I do still keep tabs on things that I don't use but curious about, like GPU advancements and prices even though I don't work in the field or do any serious gaming. Similarly for front-end frameworks--I dabble with them for hobby projects but isn't my day job. Back-end to me seems less sensitive to frameworks, if you get the database schema and SQL right along with some reasonably plain/sane code/dataflow it's probably alright.
I sometimes find myself wishing I needed to use hot new thing, but I can't justify it. e.g. Rust is cool but do I really need that? My day job uses Ruby which is so much slower than other gc languages--wish I had proper static typing though. My bar of acceptability is much lower for tools and raised for how I use them.
