Comment on: Ask Programming: if you ever got burnt out in this job or hobby, how did you get back into it?

This exactly. Unless you've got a really awesome job, writing code for others just isn't that fun. Working on your own projects is where it's at.

Comment on: 'Treat your developers like creative workers - or watch them leave

Yes yes yes.

I'm the one and only developer in my company. The wage is shitty so I'm looking to upgrade, but the one thing I appreciate is coming up with the solutions myself. Only about 10% of my time is actually spent with the keyboard; the rest of the time I'm thinking about the problem and doodling my CRC cards. Losing that is what I worry about most when I'm job-searching.
