I'm starting to think I've found my way out the other side of burnout.

Hat tip to the "OMG AI WROTE A COMPILER" nonsense, which didn't surface until I was already getting back up to speed on my little compiler project, but that bullshit has definitely been motivational.

If nothing else, spitefully writing code myself and risking actually learning things along the way makes me smile.
