Is passion overrated?

I've met devs who started out passionately but after a long while they say that they couldn't even stand the sight of their IDEs but then they had gotten into a consistency or a routine which is what drives them and that the passion that they started off with burned off along the way.

    Well I have been programming and developing since 1981 and I am still passionate about it most of the time, except when bug hunting at 2 am in the morning ;)

    Passion is not overrated. It just expired same as everything in universe. What we have to do is to take care of our passion. Keep it healthy and strong.

    Passion keeps you going.
    Burning out is inevitable.
    Resparking your passion after burnout is complicated, but can be as simple as looking up at a bird fly by...💡

    Otherwise your in it for the money, and we know what happens to those code bases at $$ per line.

    Are you not passionate at your job? If not I would urge you to find something that does fuel your passion.

    The passion comes from spontaneity and creativity. Unfortunately, not all jobs allow that.

    I still feel passionate when I can work on personal projects. However, when I have to work on bad projects following bad practices, I often feel tired and bored.
