There are tons of posts on HackerNews regarding the issue of "burnout" such as this one https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27630468

I'm curious if people think there's some new level of tech burnout going around, due to working from home for the past 2 years? I, myself, have been on complete autopilot for 2 years, barely doing anything. Luckily, it's barely noticed, as most other co-workers did even less. I haven't been able to look at a computer screen in months without losing focus in 5 minutes or so. I've experienced burnout in the past, this post-covid burnout feels different. Society feels like it's changed for the worse. A lack of social interaction is at an all-time low, while social media fighting is at an all-time high. It's exhausting. I'm not sure how to solve this problem. I don't give a fuck about the latest web dev tools. I've been doing this for nearly 13 years and it's the same old thing. I look at Rust, Go, C++ to try and shake things up, and it's just a new field of mines. What should one do?
