   Jealousy - as bad as it is, it still happens. I was the first employed programmer at a startup.\nWithin the first year of my work there an colleague from my previous company I worked for asked me if it\u2019s okay with me if he comes work for the same start-up as me. Since I strive to be a good person and friend I answered \u201cyes\u201d, but deep down I knew it is a bad idea and what I was thinking will happen, happened.\nSo few years passed in the same company and my friend got promoted higher than me and into a position I wanted to move to eventually. The company is kind of small and there is no room for more positions like his (Tech Lead). So now I live with Jealousy. Each time I see his title I\u2019m reminded of it and I don\u2019t know what to do. I\u2019m even thinking about just leaving the company and never work with friends again.

   I have been doing software development for around 7 years now and in recent times I have lost the enthusiasm to write code at work. I mostly feel bored and tired. I have no other marketable skill and talking to people usually exhaust me, so moving into a management path is not an option. Honestly, I feel like, these days I am at work just for the money; I love the money, no complaints about it, and I want to make more of it. How can I still be relevant and valuable even if I am completely bored and waking up to work feels like a work in itself, these days? P.S: I have already tried quitting my job and that didn\u2019t help. Now I am at my new job. Six months in and I feel bored already.
