I appreciate the response.
"When I turned 30-ish and had a kid and a wife and a mortgage… I lost a metric ton of interest in computers and computing." - This is exactly what I've been feeling recently.

About 13 years in, I pivoted in two interesting ways.
1. I started looking far more at the backend, infrastructure, and how to design efficient end-to-end systems (from UX, through the stack, to the infrastructure).
2. I realized that I have a passion for building products that take complex things, and simplify them for the masses.
So, I was doing more "building", but I was also creating new "products". And that flipped a switch inside me.
