I know this feel.... ...even writing simple HTML makes me tired AF now, don't even think of C#.

As someone considering going back to school in his late 20's to code, this doesn't feel great to read

What changed for you anon? For me a year of CS at uni was enough to put me off forever.

My experiences aren't necessarily the norm, and I used to love it. Just have a contingency plan in case it all goes wrong.

Was it all the pseudo-religious horseshit? Discrete math, formal methods, lambda calculus, that sort of stuff? Because that's what annoys me the most about CS.

I'm not sure, something about it just drained all the life out of it for me, it stopped being fun and started being a chore.

Then it was a case of being too intensive to do mindlessly, but not enough to be stimulating.

Oh, well that's a more basic problem: there's a psychological difference between doing things for yourself and doing them for others. Anything is worse when it's your job. I think undergraduate CS is only manageable by people who are gluttons for punishment, or who genuinely enjoy constantly solving meaningless puzzles.

I guess. But then why can't I code for fun anymore?

>34702328
maybe it's burnout? have you tried sacking off the tech a while for something unrelated?

>>34703003
Gd I hate puzzles. It makes me feel dumb but they're so useless. The only reward for solving is that you don't have to solve anymore.

People often make the mistake of thinking that things they are good at are going to bring them happiness. Just because you are good at programming doesn't necessarily mean you are going to be happy doing so. Try to find something else that might fulfill you, anon.
