I love these kind of + relationships, but the last time I was able to be surrounded by those + kind of people was in undergrad. I still love my friends from then + though! + +2) To rediscover my passion for programming. Working on software all day + every day has drained my love of programming. This burnout seems like + it could be treated by removing myself from the daily work structure. + I don't even have the energy to hack on any projects on my own after + work, since I've spent all my energy fighting microservices and + workplace politics. + +3) To increase my abilities. I feel like I know what I //don't know// at + this point. It makes me intimidated to even attempt things, like + writing graphical games! Being pushed and working in concert with + others who have abilities I don't would be a boon for that mental + block.
