It’s probably burnout. I felt the same after grad school. I couldn’t look at my computer for a year. I spent half that time traveling and the other half getting into visual art. I begrudgingly took a job because I was broke, and gradually got into a groove and found my passion again. About 10 years after that I hit another burnout wall due to an extremely demanding job.

I suspect it’s not age. I have a friend who is in his late 70s and he cranks out quality open source code using keen knowledge of the latest frameworks and community trends. He’s continued inspiration for me.

My advice would be to detach and take plenty of time off, and explore things unrelated to computing.
