Hi Maxime,
This is such a common feeling within a software career. I've experienced this a number of times within my 15 years. Of feeling like you've hit some plateau, of loosing enthusiasm, of feeling stuck. But it is not permanent. I think you do need to acknowledge it when it happens (I didn't know enough to recognize it early on so kudos to you for noticing this at 21! :), know that you need to step away for a bit to get clarity and then put in the time/energy needed to transition your role something that does bring you some joy.
Coincidentally I wrote this yesterday seeking stories of people who've navigated their career through some transitions - dev.to/bhumi/what-is-your-career-t...

Hi, thanks for your kind reply.
Yeah, I think that having the step back is really important. I feel better thanks to the advices in comments!
