When I first started learning to program. Every three months I switched languages/stacks, re-implemented a project in that language. Trying to learn the different approaches to development.

I also brought this on when I was a tech lead. Twice a month we would do code katas. Where we would do exercises together in a new language, or library. To continue learning, see if we could do things better.

I ended up in a similar place Functional(ocaml/ML) and multi platform (shared code for back end, mobile, web, and ops).

One of the problems I'm having right now, and is making me want to leave software. I can't find many roles that match that style. My brain hard locks when I try and go back to OOP at this point. I love programming, and working with the community. But right now I feel like I'm banging my head into a wall. Has any one else had this problem?
