Lensflare1680010dStop giving a shit about deadlines. What gets done, gets done.
If the deadline is missed, it’s the problem of the guy who set the deadline. -
tosensei830210dpractice the following phrase:
"that's not possible, trust me, this will fail"
use whenever someone sets a deadline that's too tight.
after stuff has failed because $managersAreIdiots, try the phrase "i told you so" -
burnout only happens if you're stressed or feeling like you're dealing with something impossible, then anxiety spikes and cortisol
there's a bunch of stoicism and enlightenment cognitive reframing that can just remove the whole biochemical problem if you wanna become like a literal monk. totally works. some people reach this naturally and handle high stress jobs quite well
only time I don't handle things well is when people specifically want me to be stressed. they seem to turn their nose up at me for being chill, then hammer at me like I'm some kind of offense to their very being
How do you manage burnout as a developer while maintaining productivity on tight deadlines?
