You and all the really great developers are welcome back to the web anytime you wish. Take a break. Enjoy your new job, and hopefully you'll gain new insights and ideas -- and share them...maybe even in new web technology. It's called burn out, and all great people experience it. If you truly love the web, it has to be unconditional, just like real life. 280 slides is gone, just like Google Reader is gone, and somebody out there will fill the gap if there is one. Web technology may be somewhat stagnant (I say it's "hindered"), but look at where the focus on technology has been since about...oh....2008. That also means there's opportunity ahead...you just have to see it. Calm before the storm, man. Now is the time to build and prepare. There won't be time to build solid technology once the next "sprint" comes. Right before the next wave, you will stop hearing people say "web and mobile." P.S. I learned Objective-C because I needed to. It was essential to my goals. Objective-J/Cappuccino never filled a need for me or my goals. It was as simple as that...with no emotions attached.
