Ask HN: How do you renew your interest in technology?

5 points

4 years ago

Like most of us here, I've absolutely loved programming since I was a kid. And I did programming. A lot. A couple of years ago I joined a PhD program in AI. I liked the science, but I dropped out after realizing I didn't really like working that way.

Current status: I feel I completely lost any interest in any kind of tech. Programming lost its magic. I can't stand the people considering their tech-related opinions as facts. I can't stand the childish "here's why I don't like tech X" articles (I guess I'm doing the same?). I can't stand self-proclaimed "experts" of the next js framework which will disappear in 2 years. Seems pointless.

So how do you renew your interest in tech?
