Re: Coding for the sake of coding...
Once I started coding for a living, I started to get stuck. But, recently, I've gotten back to where I code for the sake of learning.
I ended up taking on a lot of personal projects that are too large for one person. I do that on purpose so that I always have something to work on. I've got each of them broken down into manageable steps. When I'm in the mood to program, I pick a project that looks fun at the moment. I could be working on the project itself, or creating a console utility to aide in its development, or a bare-bones app that tests specific classes or features.
I also tend to explore management tools and design strategies when I feel stuck on some part of a project. I've recently learned CVS, applied it to my major projects; Doxygen, started to document my existing code; make; VC++ IDE project config; and I'm practising OOP and template class design at the moment.
