I had faced the same problem 4 years back, while working in a job for 4 years where my programming skill was used in very limited manner. I was pretty good during my college time, but due to lack of practice for 4 years, i was feeling almost the same.
The thing i did to overcome was to force my mind to do it or there is nothing else. This thought came to my mind when I started interviewing in other companies. During interviews you are forced to go into survival mode where solving a problem matters a lot. Interview experience pushed me to take each coding assignment like that only. I will put a pomodoro for 25 mins, and will try to solve it. If I can't, i will look at solution and try to implement in next pomodoro. You need to tell your mind, coding/problem solving is something you love so much that you won't do anything else until this gets done. You will definitely get a kick, atleast worked for me.
But isn't AutoML very expensive for startup and SMEs, where I see this could be most used. As bigger tech companies would like to have the models hosted than pay per API all.
