Ask HN: Will boring work burn me out?
I'm a software engineer working in a field that doesn't interest me, and I feel like it tears upon my passion for software engineering altogether. Do you have any idea how to tackle this?
How to tackle it?
- Find a project you enjoy doing. Either at work or a side project.
- Spend some time on Stack Overflow helping others. Ostensibly you are engaged in "professional development".
- Find a new job. This may seem obvious, but if you are doing something you don't like, find someone who will pay you for doing something you do like.
