Have you been on the same team the whole time? I’ve found that how I feel about my work and my productivity has a lot to do with what kind of team I’m on. I don’t like being the superstar (too much pressure) and I hate being around a real superstar (all my code gets rewritten by the superstar so why bother writing it in the first place). When I’m with people at roughly my own level I have a ton of energy and actually enjoy my work.
