How Do I Get Back a Passion For Programming? 516
bigsexyjoe writes "I am a somewhat experienced software developer who is pretty much an office drone. I used to enjoy writing code. I even enjoyed writing routine code before it became routine. But now I just come in day in and day out. I work for manipulative jerks. I don't care about the product I create. I don't enjoy coding anymore. I'm not great at interviewing. I don't have an impressive resume. I stick in more advanced stuff into my code when I can, but that is always on the sly. So my question is how do I get back the enjoyment I used to have writing code?"

I dunno man, I see open source projects solving "mind numbing, soul-sucking" problems. I think we know who the future serial-killers are by those who work (in their free time) on projects like Dia or Java EE containers.
