I think most devs have burnout. I do. lol

I had but got help from my company and got sick leave. I hope you have the same possibility? Talked to your boss or HR?

I think for any profession, you have to absolutely make the separation between "passion" and "business" side of it.

A guitarist can riff out solos in his house for 6 hours straight and still want to do it the next day. That's passion.

But if that same guitarist is told to wake up at 7 am everyday and play for 5 hours straight and receive a paycheck for it every month, that guitarist will start to resent the career choice and eventually face burnout.

The same goes for programmers/devs.

I have no idea what burnout is

I do know what PTSD is and actually it has the same symptoms as burnout

so maybe burnout is self-induced PTSD where you're the villain instead

but in literature burnout is literally when you're working for people who betray you or something like that. took me years to find that and I'm probably bastardizing it. fuck I never wrote it in my notes cuz I found it before I had my notes system

ok enjoy my stream of consciousness I guess

Sir

I am a robot

@jestdotty Burnout is a popular racing videogame for the Xbox and... jk.

Burnout: 'To cause to fail, wear out or become exhausted from overwork'.

Causes: Continuous high pressure, like a plateau on the highest Y-axis coordinate.

Other causes: sh*tty management, ignorance from upper management

Symptoms include mental and physical ailments

Other symptoms: You come to work dreading your work, and you hate it with a deep passion, wanting to be doing anything else but this, feeling trapped, etc.

Good to hear on the notes. : )

I enjoy your stream of consciousness, as it becomes input for mine. You have changed the world.

Burnouts are not fun :(

After the first one I developed a lisp took years to disappear

@jestdotty Burnout is accelerated (lol) when you are doing things you don't want to be doing, with the added bonus of your colleagues making work a living hell.

I'm not into high pressure.

Yes, I am like you as well in that regard.
