Ask HN: Why can't I learn anymore?
Yes went through this. Early 30s my dad died, completely changed my view on what I was doing. He was self employed and successful. I started to hate working for someone else. I really started to dislike being a developer. Kept trying to find a way out. Was depressed that being a Dev eats my life, all free time I felt I should be learning technologies
Anyway fast forward nearly a decade and I&#x27;m really happy in my job. I really appreciate being a developer. It&#x27;s interesting work.  No clock watching waiting to go home etc.<p>Not sure what changed, maybe I just got older. Maybe I just had a kid. Maybe seeing how crap so many people in the world have it while I sit here and earn good money and have nice co workers. It felt like I went through a mid life crisis in my 30s.<p>Sorry this isn&#x27;t an answer, just what I experienced.
