I noticed a stronger urge to not waste my time by reading bullshit. It got much worse now that I am closer to 40.
For pure coding, I am writing simple functions and precise data types only, and actively avoid all the clever abstractions I used to push for in the past. I won’t argue about any styling or naming conventions - configure an on-save linter and done.
And for APIs I‘ll look exclusively at the given spec/schema/whatever - and only grep through legacy implementation code if I suspect edgecase handling there.
It’s not being unable, more like extremely unwilling to immerse in just another messy code pile.
