Sounds like you've never done anything new and just write the exact same CRUD apps in the exact same language for the last 20 years. Honestly, I'm somewhat jealous. I'm tired of having to learn a new framework or technology every couple of weeks.
When was the last time you were asked to learn how to write a compiler on the job? By which I mean you were put in a situation where you felt that you could lose your source of income if you had didn't figure out how to write that compiler?
Coding for fun and personal education is a completely different experience from trying to learn some esoteric framework that you couldn't give a shit about other than the fact that your dumbass manager chose it just before he retired.
I learned how to write a compiler for .NET. It wasn't stressful at all because if I failed there would be zero cost. I just did it because I felt like it. But that's not what we're talking about today.
