When everything works, but nothing feels right.

You ever hit that weird stretch where all your code compiles, all your tests pass… but somehow, everything still feels off?

No fires to put out, no angry PMs breathing down your neck — and yet, the motivation just isn’t there. You stare at the screen, pretend to refactor, maybe rename a few variables, and then just… stare again.

It’s like the calm after a sprint, except the calm feels more like quicksand.

Not burnout. Not boredom. Just... blank.

Skill issue.

I notice a very recognizable character.

Yes, we migrated a 15+ year SharePoint "app" (heavily modified sharepoint aspx files, custom XML templates, and lots and lots of javascript) to Blazor. We had very minimal end-user testing (a VP, her subordinate, and another manager). The app had been central to company planning (think of it like Jira, but in SharePoint) and at one point had 4 dedicated developers working on it seemingly 365 days a year. Continuous 'add a field' here, 'change the label' there, 'change the label back' wash-rinse-repeat requests.

We used Jira for the project mgmt and after all the cards were 'done', the VP said "Looks good, release it then disable the sharepoint site. Good job guys."

Its been about a month, no complaints from the owner, CEO, other VPs, and end users who are usually obsessed over trivial details are quiet.

I'm afraid.

Yes, normally means I don't care about the project
