You have to experience new things. Old things don't get us excited. Do you understand ML, Deep Learning? Deep dive into it, not just in using the library but being able to go low level, that will excite you. I only get that feeling when I learn something really new, then it quickly goes away.
I get that when I read deeply technical stuff that's at my level or above my level. So it just means you're not challenging yourself well enough. It's easy to make really good money in this industry operating below your capacity. That's the problem, challenging yourself a lot will not necessary make you more money unless you really go to a FAANG. So why bother especially as we have now gotten older, with more responsibilities.
