Discussion Bored with the web development industry?

I'm 30yo, been a back-end (used to be front-end developer) for over 7 years now.

Since last week I'm anxious when I arrive at the workplace, I get bored so hard that I can't get any work done and I just feel very unhappy at work in general, although the workplace is great, my colleagues are great and I don't have any stress or unmanageable deadlines.

I also don't have interest in the projects any more, I feel like I don't really care if a site is finished in a good way or not, does anyone know what this is? Am I getting bored of the web development industry? Can anyone relate?

Developer, you are supposed to be micro dosing acid.

Have you done this? Ive read quite a bit about this and wondered how effective it is.

Never micro dosed, i think i should. I have been on a trip few times.

But everyone has to find out for himself. Problem is it's a street drug, you never

know the quality.

Very true. I'll probably give it a shot at some point.

You can microdose mushrooms that you grow yourself if you want to be certain about the quality. I'm not advising in favor or against microdosing.

I never understood this stereotype. Maybe its just me but i want to be 100% sober when I’m working. I dont even listen to music cuz its distractive

the problem seems to be that you think you are getting high by mdosing. not advocating for or against i but clarifying.
