   1) nope 2) yes, some people from my close proximity say that I learn too much. I feel like I only learn whereas I should be building something. My whole career has been constant nonstop learning and improving

   Because it used to be very important part of me, my biggest hobby, biggest passion, and it's over. And I feel like I've been practicing this skill my whole life to get to where I am, and now I find it very difficult to switch to n

   I fear this very, very much. What if I never can regain that passion? I feel like junkie who never can get another high.

   I have amazing GF and do martial arts and overall love my life but deep down I feel there's that passion lacking when it comes to coding

   I'm a bit past the try-new-stack. I have a stack that I'm very productive and happy. I feel like I've finally found what I love to use, am capable of using with huge productivity, but don't feel like using :-)

   Thank you, I tried clay modelling. But still I feel tech is my real passion. I wish you all the best with your burnout

    I thought about this, but it seems very priviledged to "complain" about earning lots of money and not enjoying it as if I was 12 when people with real misery and pain are all around.

    sorry I tried, I'm too in love with Scala :-) even so much that I feel so unproductive in anything else that I'm almost frustrated

    The last sentence hit home, thank you. I get huge motivation boost whenever anyone uses anything I make (even if it's single person). So perhaps aiming towards anything that excludes revenue is the way to go. It's a bit difficult

    This is true. I'm ok with not enjoying work too much. But I'd still like to be able to get lost in zone and code till 2am on my personal project

    I'll be brutally honest - I'm very tied financially to large paychecks that I can earn with Scala :-(

    If you could write it down I'd be very grateful and go through it all. Thank you for your consideration. My mental state is pretty ok I think, I'm overall cheerful person, it's just that I'd like there to be more meaning

    I want to stay with Scala. I love it, enjoy it, and play with it to build some frontends (scala.js) on my own. I feel like I've been learning and improving my whole career to become the best engineer I can be, only to then not be inter

    wouldn't then CC, BCC and TO headers not fit? and emails form different thread, i.e. in gmail?

    how would that work? so every recipient would receive different email content with different pixel?
