I find working as a software engineer very boring. But my interest in computers is still big. Personally I like to ignore all the "YOU MUST LEARN <trendy language/framework etc>" and instead learn the older but very powerful tools and languages etc, I almost have nostalgia for them even though I was too young when they were first being created - the unix tools like sed, awk etc, perl, and of course Linux itself. I love learning about and using these for small fun tasks. Basically Linux is fun.
