You've not burned out, you've matured as a programmer.
You've not burned out, you've matured as a programmer. You can see all the crap for what it is so now try and make a difference... Champion the cause of code that's legible - and that doesn't mean covering it in syntactic sugar. Legible code makes it damn obvious what it does and how it does it. Sometime find the "power take off" for a tractor ... that's what you're trying to do. You can also champion the cause of not fixing that which is broken. There is also fun to be had demonstrating the technical debt is real debt and it does need to be paid back. Much fun introducing peer review, too. Get yourself, your team or whatever to sit next to your damn customer. Have them look at what you're doing at least once a day so they can say "oh, no, not like that" before it turns into a $100k fuckup. So, yeah, you've just got through to the next level. It's not the software that's the challenge, it's the people.
