Yes, I am aware I'm caught in a never ending downward spiraling descent to madness in the fight between my ADHD and my OCD.
For me tho... I'd rather be on the burned out and challenged side. Yes it's stressful, but when I have everything figured out I don't feel like I have a purpose.
Like, "Whelp, that's all solved, guess I'll just sit here and monitor my automations while I wait to die"
At least on the learning/challenged/freelance side I want to die from having too much to do.
TL;DR ~ Death from Stress > Death from Boredom
Looping in kitchen be like
Whenever you're feeling like a fraud and you think you're not good enough.
Here's something not quite a rant, but relatable. And an issue. For me at least.

You get really proficient with a set of tools.
- Can solve things in an efficient & elegant manor.
But it's now boring.
You find some new exciting stack, research like a madman. Possessed.
Your perfectionist self, seldom doesn't want to settle.
You burn out from pressure & deadlines.
You feel inadequate, imposter syndrome settles in.
You reminisce of the easy days when you (thought) knew everything.
Decide to rebuild using that past stack.
Gets bored.
You notice something new & exciting.. loop iterates to next repetition.
