i've never earned more in my life

i've never been more bored in my life

...is this a pattern?

pls halp

A nice problem to have.

Find something to entertain you while you make the mola

@MammaNeedHummus i always think of an anecdote I once heard on a podcast - how much would you need to earn to be forced to sit in a room and do nothing, for 8 hours a day. not do whatever you want, but literally do nothing...

depressing

@fullstackcircus this is literal torture.

Nah!

This is a common faulty assumption.

Most people get a pay raise when they switch jobs

But the probability of new job being more fun than old job is unknown, it’s a complete gamble, could be 50%

If new job is boring it’s easy to assume that’d because of pay

But that would be an incorrect conclusion

@jiraTicket I’d venture to say the probability is much lower. My assumption is that most companies are trash, therefore your job will likely be shit. You have to research a lot to avoid the shit companies.

suffer in silence, bitch

You have autism. Welcome to the club, brother!

On a serious note,

1. did your sleep patterns change recently?

2. how much time do you need to sleep for to feel well-rested?

3. what kind of period you're talking about in your rant? Days? Weeks? Months? Years?

@kiki sleep is actually better than when i was FrEeLaNcEr in spring / summer

i'm just bored as fuck, feels like i'm just filling 40 hours a week so i can "say i was there"

sigh

@fullstackcircus If you don't require as much sleep as before to feel well-rested, plus you feel a productivity boost, or you feel the sudden change in what interests you in life, you might be manic or hypomanic. Seek psychiatric attention, at least a simple checkup. If you're manic, you need to pop out of the mania/hypomania as soon as possible — the longer you're in it, the more depressed you'll be when it ends. Doctors can learn a lot from your daily life — my bipolar diagnosis was decided based on my Product Hunt releases and their timing.

@fullstackcircus depression after mania is DEVASTATING. It is the deepest depression you can get. You took the intelligence loan, and now your brain's debt collectors are at your door, demanding your happiness back, and then some. A lot of suicides attributed to it, more than in typical unipolar depression. Believe me, because I'm bipolar, and I had to live through it many, many times.

Just get a new job, developer salaries are high enough that it really doesn't matter, enjoying your job is more important.

Just bring your own laptop and have some interesting toy/non-profit projects.
If asked, you’re just educating and improving your skills so you become even more valuable. (:
