I feel this. My approach has been to drop programming as a hobby honestly. I've learned to work on my car, did a kitchen remodel, took dancing classes... fucking anything where I don't have to look at a screen really.

Honestly I'd suggest something that gets you out of the house more. Motorcycles, Latin dance, hiking and drinking is what I do for fun. I do enjoy programming for fun sometimes but the inspiration is something you have to find in other areas of life.

I think it's because they used to be exciting and mysterious, now they are just tedious and terrifying.
