It's getting to the point that I'd rather do home improvement projects or dick around in my garage than do anything with my computer in my spare time.
Anyone else run into this kind of career funk and if so what did you do to shake it off?
On the side I've been working on a few Rails and Node.js projects. I found them to be enjoyable to code and intellectually stimulating. An opportunity came along a few weeks ago to join a Rails based consulting firm. I start in a few weeks and can't remember the last time I was this excited about work.
As some of the other commenters mentioned, I'm hoping the lower level stuff is the breath of fresh air needed. Everyone is different but maybe you should consider switching things up a little and jumping into a new technology stack. Good luck with whatever you decide to do!
The project I'm working on I haven't looked at seriously for 3-4 weeks. Partly on purpose, and partly because I'm a bit bored doing it for myself. I've got plenty of fresh ideas, but no incentive at the moment.
Is this what you're talking about? Or is it more what @joshontheweb was talking about?
On the other side, I've worked extensively with Java, and on a lesser extent with Scala, C++, C# and other languages, Unity3D, etc on projects which have little to do with CRMs.
Perhaps you're not bored of working with computer, just worked of the reiteration of the same project with little variations and the technology you're using...
Try something different!
