I hope somebody could help me out here. Throwaway account.<p>I&#x27;ve recently graduated and since May I&#x27;ve been working remotely for a company. I&#x27;ve always loved programming, but now it&#x27;s become work, and I&#x27;m only doing it for the money.<p>--<p>And I have the opposite problem. I keep looking at the clock counting down hours to lunch, counting down hours to the end of the day. I&#x27;m just restless.<p>I&#x27;m being a very good and productive programmer, but it&#x27;s not through joy from work anymore, but through willpower. I just go through my day forcing myself to do it.<p>Anybody else going through the same thing? Maybe this is specific to remote programmers?
