Ask HN: Anyone just given up on industry?

3 pointsby 0x01030307almost 7 years ago
I&#x27;ve had a half dozen jobs since graduating college, and several before then.<p>I just get to a job and after 6-12 months I&#x27;ve just had enough. By enough I mean, just so much boredom that I cannot tolerate being apart of the organization anymore.<p>For those that struggle with this or something similar, how do you cope or dont you?

I tend to get bored when I&#x27;m not learning anything new, so I have this issue too to some extent.<p>Some options:<p>1. Figure out how to automate yourself out of a job, which can be a new challenge.<p>2. Rewrite a legacy system to not be terrible, so you&#x27;re doing root cause fix instead of bandaids.<p>(Talk about those in more detail here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;codewithoutrules.com&#x2F;2016&#x2F;03&#x2F;15&#x2F;stagnating-job&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;codewithoutrules.com&#x2F;2016&#x2F;03&#x2F;15&#x2F;stagnating-job&#x2F;</a>)<p>3. Find an organization with many kinds of projects and move teams when you get bored. Much less work than finding a completely new job.
