Been programming 25 as well. I got more invigorated by switching from C++ to Python. Learned to turn a game engine into a module in Python (connected the game engine scripting to python as well). Then programmed a lot of python for a few companies. Learned a lot and then back to C++ primarily. Also, I am finally hunkering down and learning a lot more theory. This has made my programming more interesting.
I get it though. You get stuck and tired of the same old problems.
Well, it finally happened.
After 25 years coding in all types of languages and environments, I’m no longer having fun.
It now seems like it’s a fight to get interested in the code. I used to be something that I would spend hours / days doing. Now I just want to walk away from the code.
Is it true (do you think) that after a while all you see is a for loop, an if statement, a null check and you just think to yourself. Fuck this! Because I think I’m there.
God it’s depressing to think that I no longer find it fun.
