This is another "I was like this" story. Two years ago I was at Microsoft India Development Center, horribly demotivated and decided to move away from programming. Actually I had realized one and half years in that I wasnt interested in my job and tried a lot of things to switch to a different role within Microsoft but none worked. I wanted to run away from programming. A lot of the advice I received was similar as written in the article. But I honestly did not know what to run towards. I was utterly directionless. Ultimately,in a brief moment of madness induced bravery, I quit my job without any future prospects. While at home I re-discovered my love for programming as i was working on hobby projects. I responded to yummyfajitas' post on the Who's hiring thread, got the job and my life has been awesome since then. I absolutely heart programming , I keep on trying to learn new stuff and cant think of moving away. All of this to say, if you feel like this, change your job, join a startup or learn a different language. Not everyone thinks in the same way. You may not be great in one paradigm of languages but that doesn't stop you from loving another programming paradigm.
