You sound depressed. Loss of interest in work can be a symptom of depression. Feeling boring is about loss of self value. Possibly there are other things not going well in your life? You don&#x27;t say how old you are but as you get older life moves from being super career focused to a point where other things start to matter.  If you have not invested your life and time into other things then obviously you don&#x27;t have a well balanced life to support you through the hard times.<p>Probably you will regain your love for software development - I have fallen out of love with it a few times but it comes back as life changes.<p>What you do need is balance - 1 hour per day exercise, you need plenty of human relationships in your day to day life (invest time in family, friends, others), work that interests you - (time to start looking for a new job?) and depending on your life stage maybe its time to start thinking about starting a family.<p>Finally you definitely need to find a good counsellor&#x2F;therapist to be talking this stuff over with - HN is not the place.
