What are you doing that it's keeping your interest?

What are you doing that it's keeping your interest? I sometimes find myself getting tired of technology and while I love software development, I often think about not doing it anymore. After a while it gets old constantly dealing with other people's decisions. An easy example is working with Powershell Remoting can be a nightmare if you're not intimately familiar with both Windows itself and Windows Remoting specifically. It's extremely hard to simply use it as a shell without so much deep knowledge, something I don't find to be the case on unix systems. Absolutely not an attack on Windows, just a recent example I've come across where I don't want to have such a deep knowledge of Windows, but I'm forced to in order to deal with a tech that, in theory, should help me be productive without having such deep knowledge. I have my days where I just get tired of it all. The day I realized IIS forces you to load DLL's in child applications because the parent loads a DLL (even though they can use separate app pools) is one example. I can't imagine why that's the default. I find myself having to go home and work on things like homegrown emulators and the like just to keep up my love of technology.
