True. In my case it’s also out of general tiredness and disinterest. A good newsletter that catches up on useful things in the ecosystem might help, otherwise I can’t be bothered anymore to keep up. 5 years ago that still seemed like a good way to spend my time. I wonder if other developers are just as jaded.
