What is it about coding that you enjoy? Do you like perfecting the code? Do you like creating a finished product that’s useful to people? Do you like solving difficult puzzles?

At 3 years, you’re probably leaving behind the part of your career where you learn to write good code at the function/class/small module level and entering the part where the learning is about design and architecture of larger systems and libraries. This is also the point where at many companies you’ll start to be expected to engage more with what the product is and the ultimate problems you’re solving for the user.

Are those new areas of learning less interesting to you? More interesting?
