Family and maturity change your perspective. While younger developers are chasing the next "shiny new thing", you just want to put your time in and go home. That's nothing to be ashamed of. To satisfy "getting home faster", I suggest you concentrate your effort and attention on improving the development process. What rote work or common functionality can you make easier to build/deploy? Ask yourself what the last coding project that you were enthusiastic about was and try to work on something similar. Or, pick something completely different so that the process of learning reminds of why you used to think coding was worthwhile.
