> Quitting your job and getting a new one seems to just be a stop-gap.

Yeah, well, as it turns out you can construct a career of “stop-gaps”.

I don’t think this is a problem to be solved. It’s a siren screaming in your ear telling you to focus on other matters. There’s more to life than our dumb tech jobs, it’s ok to recognize that and act accordingly.

The stop-gaps help with the fact that you won’t/don’t/can’t really care. When you can’t appropriately keep up the charade, they artificially inflate your interest once again.

This has actually been very true for me so far. Whoever killed it probably has never burnt out badly. I mainly feign enthusiasm for the various new tooling things that come out. It largely doesn't matter if ya ain't gettin $$, and sometimes that's all you should care about.
