Find something absolutely crazy/funny to work on with absolutely no judgement and no expectations. Just be. Just code. #devdiscuss

Take time to explore other crafts and fields of inquiry. I have often found new inspiration this way and brought it back to dev #devdiscuss

#devdiscuss most fun i’ve had coding was probably last summer making a variety of drake-themed stuff with @polygraphing and @sashaperigo

If it's not fun, try some temp. change. A new language. A new paradigm (functional/OOP/…). A new project. Step away from coding. #devdiscuss

Get away from the computer/screen in your free time and do something physical, make something physical or play an instrument. #devdiscuss

Pick something completely new. New language, new platform. Go from mobile to web, front end to back end, anything to shake it up #DevDiscuss

work can be boring but i think coding is pretty empowering. if you think “hey wouldn’t it be cool if...” you can do that! #devdiscuss

While I find it orthogonal to the fun of coding, it is its own fun to imbue a friend/coworker with your tech skills. #devdiscuss

If you’re not having fun with it, don’t beat yourself up or force yourself. You’ll just end up disliking it more. #DevDiscuss

Was getting burnt out on coding so I took on a bit of sysadmin/network work for a while. Not generally refreshing work, but… #devdiscuss

Make something silly; something that doesn't a business goal attached to it. Like @notwaldorf 's cat video only v. of YouTube #devdiscuss
