Get laid

Monday September 29th, 2008

Occasionally I like to browse through Reddits what's new and popular about Programming section. As for example the following entry:

35, lost interest in programming, system administration sucks, don't want to go in management. What to do?

And a selected laughable response...

I've been in your position three separate times during my career (I'm 44 now). In my case it was always boredom due to a lack of challenge and bureaucracy. The solution, for me, was to change jobs. In each case I took lower paying jobs, but in more interesting and smaller companies (startups & the like) where I had much more responsibility. The new positions changed my focus. They replaced the "what am I doing with my life" stress with the "holy shit, how am I going to get this done" stress.

You also might need to get laid.
