I am burning out

I haven't written code outside of work for nearly a year, when it used to be all I did.

I find myself resentful of my company that got us into a death march project that ended months ago.

When I write code, I don't feel any of the passion that I used to feel.

I try to improve the quality of codebase, but always give up in the face of the poorly written mass of code we sell as a product.

I find it hard to care about the product.

I think I am burned out.

Just remember, there is always a worse code base than the one you are working on, and on the flip side no matter how good you make your code base, someone will encounter it, and think it's a "poorly written mass of code".

Start working out, networking and improving your resume.
