I've been burnt out from work. I lost interest in coding because I spent so much time coding for a job that made me so unhappy.
I've been able to rekindle my passion for coding by finding personal projects to work on. I like to build utility apps, or screensaver-like art experiments. It's fun to learn something new. I once wrote a art project using CSS transitions, then rewrote it using a Canvas element. It was interesting to see the way coding was different in each situation. I never realized how much heavy lifting the web browser's CSS engine does until I tried to crossfade a colored square in a Canvas.
Also: Are you old enough to remember magazines with printed source code that you would have to type in manually? I remember finding them in my parent's basement among their science fiction literature magazines.
