I never got tired of software development. I still write software now, but I do it now to scratch my own itches rather than because the job demands it.
I was at the WWDC last year and saw a bunch of my old colleagues who asked why I was there since I didn't need to be there for work. My answer was that it was the perfect nerd vacation - learn some new things, see some old friends, take a nice trip. I don't need to go every year, but every two or three years will be fun.
I REed mainly because I could. Why worry about work deadlines and working on other people's priorities when I can do what I want at my own pace. Pretty much a no brainer.
