I have ups and downs, I really enjoy programming when I can get my teeth into something I'm really passionate about, but there are other parts of the year where I fall into a "programmers block" and can't bring myself to do anything.
My fondest programming memories are those aforementioned passion projects, but they're often fleeting. What tends to happen is I go all in on something, write a blog post about it then it kind of drifts away and ultimately I drift too.
It's hard, I'm not sure how to solve it other than saying these feelings come and go - you'll find something/inspiration in the most unexpected places.
I'm in the latter right now, and am anticipating losing my job over it. I'm just not that motivated by doing somewhat arbitrary programming tasks, and at a certain point, the thing that was previously novel starts being insurmountably boring.
