I've only been doing this for a little over ten years, not 25. Still, I find that though most problems are indeed quite boring, the solutions don't have to be.

It seems there are always new ways to write solutions, and I don't just mean picking a new language or trying to optimize performance. Some challenges seem impossible to ever fully solve: Making the code more robust, easier to read, or just to communicate the intent of every line is clearly. (At least for now my solutions tend towards making the code as declarative as possible.)

I get that this may not interest everyone as much and I wouldn't mind a genuinely new or hard problem to solve every now and then, but still something to consider.
