Work takes all the fun out of coding for me. I haven't touched a side project for a year.

I spend hours toiling at work, then I finish work and switch to my hobby project, on the same desk/peripherals (KVM switch), same IDE and same tech stack, and work on it full of energy and finding it fun.

I have no clue why this works for me.

It has to just be interest, right?

Probably. Extrinsic vs intrinsic motivation.
