> that's how long it takes for the company to change too much or for me to lose interest

What's the thing that keeps your interest? What's the change that makes you uninterested?

If you don't want any crunch, seeking out a clock-puncher position at a big corp that does some software development might be a good idea... but that will be MORE boring.

Or... start your own thing that is aligned with your interests?

I think it's the routine of it all. Yet another CRUD app, yet another meaningless "emergency", yet another client/stakeholder tantrum, yet another power play in which I'm a pawn. It's interesting in the first 3-4 months because everything is new (company, software, people) but then it fades away.

I've thought about this many times, but I don't think I have what it takes.
