what kind of projects or whatever can i do to have fun again without feeling stressed.
Write programs that scratch your own itch.
write bots for communities you care about.
write userscripts/browserextentions
do programming/hacking challenges
(for stuff that is always online, like a bot, or a webservice, I recommend getting a dedicated computer, like a raspberry pi or a small vps)
also some general recommendation
keep you goals small and tangible. If a thing takes more than one sitting to complete, it will add to your stress when you add the remainder to your todo list.
do the simplest thing, that could possibly work.
when doing new stuff, use chatgpt to come up with a plan/boilerplate/demo/2nd opinion.
from personal experience: before I went to college, I had lots of fun doing programming challenges. During college I lost all interest in programming. At my first real job, I regained my love for programming, when I started programming things, that actual people need to improve their daily work. Since then I enjoy programming for work, as well as in my free time.
even better!
