>I have been a software developer for more than 25 years. It is getting boring. Any "new" problem is just the same old problem with a new layer of abstraction. Look at this new language/framework that is so great! You could do all that with the previous language if you cared enough to learn it.

That's because you keep working with similar languages/solving the same problems.

Try different languages and/or problem domains.

It's not super easy to move to a more interesting role that pays the same. A lot of the time, just having Java for 10 years on your resume and C# for 2 years will automatically rule you out of any "senior" C# positions.

I've done accounting, financial, gaming, embedded, & industrial. There's few languages I haven't worked in, and it'd be nigh on impossible to enumerate the different 'problem domains' I've worked in.

The only area I haven't worked in in security research, but it doesn't interest me personally as a work choice.

I left because I was bored. Perhaps I was a pre-millennial millennial.
