It's probably more relevant then you'd expect. I have a suspicion that the rush I get from doing something excessively has created a form of addiction. When that no longer provides the rush, because it's familiar and boring, I need a new fix. Rinse repeat for 10 years and I'm obsessed with finding the next idea to give me that rush.
I have been working from home for almost four years now. I don't consider my self an overly social person, but it's beginning to take a toll on me.
I live in a small city (~80k population) with absolutely no tech industry and don't have any close friends that are working programmers with similar interests. I tend to have a lot of ambitions, which make it even worse when you have no feedback system to discuss those ambitions.
Lately I've been considering applying for jobs in the Bay area, but I'm not sure I'm qualified enough to get a job worth moving my family for.
