Ask HN: Did Anyone Here Lose Interest in Coding After a While?

2 OulaX 1 7/15/2025, 5:05:35 PM
I have a CS degree, and 3 years of experience, the spark of coding seems to have gone, I can't enjoy even small toy projects, I end up focusing too much on writing perfect code, I tried writing meh code, but I couldn't succeed.

Living in a country with no prospects or job oppurtunities for software developers doesn't help as well.

I want to learn from your past experiences if any.

Thanks

Not me. I have been coding for nigh on 35 years now and I still enjoy it. Most of the time anyway. What annoys me isn't ever really "coding" in and of itself, but rather the incidental complexity that comes from the various tools and infrastructure stack elements. IDE plugins that don't work right, build tools that have byzantine and broken configurations, app servers that crash, hang, eat log messages, yadda yadda yadda.

But if anything, I lament that I don't get to code enough these days. Any time I get an opportunity to sit down and spend even a couple of hours actually writing code is usually the highlight of my week.
