You have to know what you love about coding - Why do you do it? Ex: for exposure (your work gets seen), for competing with yourself, for recognition by peers (open source maybe), for most money for your family, etc. I got burned out coding on stuff that I found less meaningful and transitioned to the product side where my coding skills gave me a very unfair advantage against competition and peers alike (I could build what just became possible by reading APIS). I found myself wanting to code for fun and after 2 years went to get an MBA at a top school while coding my first startup at the same time. My brain loved learning all the intricacies of Finance, VC, Patent Law, and anything else that can help or hurt entrepreneurs, while my hands were hammering on product. Now I code almost full-time on my startup. I code in a language I didn't know a year ago (Go) and the speed of it gives me so much joy to work on it, compared to others - it makes coding fun. Find out your Whys, and you may realize that coding is not sitting for 3 decades, but power to bring to life previously impossible things (or just things other's didn't think of) that can improve the lives of people anywhere on the planet.
