I guess my itch is the fact that at work I do the same thing almost every day (make them websites, add guest checkout, style the page, integrate X and Y's API).

I guess my itch is the fact that at work I do the same thing almost every day (make them websites, add guest checkout, style the page, integrate X and Y's API). It's becoming tedious and boring. I think my learning curve is now flat. I need some new challenges from which I can learn new stuff, use more math and elegant algorithms. This is why I think I will be going to make some small games (monogame & C#, js)... and after I learn JS properly, I will definitely try some functional languages (Haskell). I think this will make me better at programming and help me see things from a different point of view... and most of all, have fun doing new things.
