Comment on Ask HN: Are you as passionate as you used to be?

Comments

Something similar happened to me, the magic of programming is gone - now it is just another job that pays well. Personally I moved my interests to stock markets/investing/economy and also philosophy (but only basics).

I still feel about once or twice a year a need to quickly code a side project but it usually lasts month up to 3 months. In that time I code something that eventually is abandoned, but gives me some satisfaction.

When I was younger I tried things like taking part in CTFs and reading math books in my free time. Now something changed and those things seems pointless to me. Maybe it's the nature knocking on my mental doors telling me it is time to become a father?

Becoming a father is truly an amazing thing.
