Burnout from doing same thing over and over.

Pretty much. Every project I start, it's the same kind of yak-shaving. Database schema, logging, authentication, display of errors, build tools, CI/CD, backend, front-end. Full-time is not even enough for this for one person.

There is a ton of CRUD and mind-numbing tasks you have to churn through to get to the interesting parts, and I have been doing the boring parts for 20 years. The goals barely changed, but how we implement things has. New ways to build, new way to deploy, new languages, new frameworks. Just keeping up with it is a struggle.

I think my next project, I am just going to go Rails. It's my way of giving up :)

clippers to sledge hammers & spikes -- pretty big jump. changing direction to up does get ne off the rail (way) plane.
