I don't know if this will help you, but in my case the only times I've ever felt like I was heading for burnout were when I was when I was writing fairly mundane code under time constraints. If you can move into a job role where you spend more time learning and solving problems than coding everything will get a lot better.

I appreciate the post but I would have to argue that 'looking for a job where I learn / solve problems' Is basically every job I'm at. I always search for a way to do it better than before but I am almost always alone. What I appreciated about what he was saying is that he was not always successful, nor did he stay in the same field (which many people told me I need to specialize). Granted he is probably leagues ahead of me, this makes me believe that my experience is not a unique one which I appreciate.
