Hi, fellow remote worker here. I am in somewhat the same boat, as I'm not really working on large scale software projects, more just plumbing for our frontend devs (I am a backend developer for a design company). As a result I often find myself creating my own priorities and requirements, which can relieve some of the boredom.

If you have the opportunity and the clout you could suggest new tech or new processes that might help alleviate some of the pain points you're feeling. It's at least worth a shot. You might end up getting to do some new dev work as a result.
