I lost my sanity and googled ”FUCK YOU XCODE YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT”...

That's how I found devRant.

Sometimes I wish I could go afk from life

!dev

Been away from here for over a year.

Tried meditation, tried working out, tried eating more #00FF00s.

I'm a super calm person and rarely rant over shit in real life but I learned that really little things can replace ranting over random shit on the internet and having people come here to read just exactly that and relate.

I think I'm back :) <3

How are you guys taking care of mental health?

I feel down in dumps. Burnt out from previous job and life seems like a drag.

Any advice appreciated as I feel pretty isolated.

Finally have some side project in mind but now I don't have the time. When I had time I was not well mentally to do anything. When is the cycle going to break? Work - burnout - recover - repeat 😣

Is it just a coincidence that there is always somebody going crazy here? And it's always one after another?

Seeing how there's only one thing in common. Coding is making us crazy!

Haven’t been active on devRant in a few months, spread across different platforms and university work. Just finished a class working on a portfolio piece and that took a lot out of me combined with several life events in consecutive weeks. Just doing the bare minimum homework and had my nose stuck in video games the past couple weeks since finishing that portfolio class. Feeling a lot better going into this new week though and ready to get back to working on another portfolio piece while learning some advanced NodeJS and MVC architecture.

How do you deal with burnout?

With home isolation and remote working due to COVIV19 how do you people who live alone deal with being alone with your thoughts for 8 hours

Some people try to talk by changing their accent to look cool.

And my mind every time is like - man stop that and try to change your mindset first.

First Covid and now the war which will probably become World war 3. Despite trying my best to stay positive and work on my skills as a software engineer and a professional, it has really affected my will to keep grinding and hustling in life. It’s becoming increasingly difficult to stay motivated and on track.

Please tell me I’m not the only one feeling like this.

Have you managed to find any tricks to relieve the back of your hands while programming under these hot days we are having?
I am interested in collecting your ideas.

Sometimes I think about changing jobs just to be the new guy again and be able to work in peace without constant IMs popping up. :/
