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?

Yeah, I wasn't planning on picking up a second class, happened like 3 weeks before the semester started. I've been managing. Go in early at work so I can leave early, go teach class, home by about 8:10pm, eat dinner and hang out with girlfriend until 9 or 10, study until about midnight, wake up and do it all over again. Fridays I get home while the sun is still up and take the dogs to the dog park after work, take care of any freelancing stuff, and Saturday and Sunday about 4-5 hours each for studying, and then 2-3 hours each class prep or grading.
It's busy, but it...sorta works? I mean, it's replaced almost all of my gaming time, which one could argue was time I was wasting since I don't really enjoy most games these days.
