Coding is not fun anymore

Yes /prog/ I have forgotten the joy of coding.

I used to have fun at high school. I would write trivial programs to carry out my little tasks like math homeworks etc.

Now I'm a junior at college, and it is not fun anymore. I still happen to be finding "solving a problem" joyful, but not coding the solution I've found.

Have you ever felt the same? Have you been able to overcome it and taste *that feeling* when your code runs?

The problem is programming was never fun to begin with. The answer I've found is GNU/drugs or as I've recently taken to calling them "my little helpers."

I'm thinking of taking psychedelics, too. Advice noted.

>>22-san never mentioned the psychedelics, could've been talking about pretty much anything. I figured he was talking about some of these new designer drug thingies programmers seemed to be attracted to.

Ask /jp/, they love that shit.

I don't want to use anything that causes addiction or has adverse effects. I know psychedelics are harmless, so I will most probably go for them.

>>25
Will do, thank you.

Still, I doubt this would make programming fun again. It will make life more bearable at best, I guess.

Hmm... looks like 4chan is down ;_;

psychedelics are harmless
Kids these days.

? I am in university and it is still fun

that's because it's your first semester

Do something really fun, like [b]Nested BBCodes[/b]

have you tried brainfuck OP? I only code in brainfuck.

Yeah, I wasn't kidding on the drugs. Psychedelics are amazing so that's a good choice. Just don't turn into one of those loopy shit-sprouting idiots. Keep things in perspective and use it as a tool.

You might want to try euphoric stimulants like cocaine. There is a reason why Sigmund Freud was so productive. To a lesser extent Ritalin and notaly Dexadrine. Surprisingly what a mood lift can do to your productivity. Who knows, you'll be writing that 1000 line business logic in no time!

Note: That last line is unmotivating. I've always found starting a new project can be quite fun (for a little while.)
