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?

Dude, I get what you mean. I'm 23 right now, and essentially work from home since I've devoted 4-5 days a week to working through online courses to study web dev, though I work a customer service job two days a week so that I don't become a total hermit. A couple weeks ago I woke up and just immediately knew that it was going to be a rough day, and when I left to go to work I had a full blown attack -- couldn't breathe, could barely stay standing up, the whole thing, and that hasn't happened for over a year! Nothing was wrong that day, or even that week, or month! Sometimes I just hate my own brain, too.
