So? Does this mean you have burnt out? How does this compare to jobs like algorithmic trading or mission critical software?

Burning out over stress of writing a web site? I call BS on all these burn out blog posts.

You have other problems in your life that make you depress, coding might be little part of it but I don't see what levels of stress can you be under while doing mostly non interesting jobs.

You are calling bullshit based some vague feelings of "job difficulty"?

Do you have a robust mental model of the day to day experiences of these people who you are calling bullshit on? If not, I would be careful with your words. It can come off as fairly snide, ignorant, and callous.
