To be honest, I'm getting tired of being told what I should do.
Learn a new framework? How about a new language? Start a side project? Turn my side project into a side business? How about brush up on my AI/LLM knowledge? Let's not forget to leet code in between, to stay fresh and ready. And also, if you're dissatisfied working low level, try high level. If high level, try low level. Aren't you falling behind?
I empathize with the message. I remember when :hover and rounded corners first came to CSS. I would love to enjoy spending hours fretting over those very minor details again, without caring at all if anyone ever sees it. But aren't tech companies and tech culture what is draining the creativity out of us while demanding more and more of it in the first place?
I mean, what's the point of doing anything for fun if you can't turn it into a bonafide side project that becomes a start-up so you can escape your local-or-fired corporate hellhole?
