@nixCraft How many programmers does it take to change a light bulb? None, it's a hardware problem.

@traveling_mike @nixCraft Alternate: None. No programmer would have the lights on enough to notice a burned out light bulb.

@nixCraft Don't worry, after some time it will also stop working.

@nixCraft even further, programmer becomes a freelancer :frogchamp:

@nixCraft Was trying to find if this was from the original standup.trex (probably not), but their IG seems to have been deleted.

Bored? Said something inappropriate and preempted the backlash? No idea.

@nixCraft Yeah and if its real severe, takes like a year to properly recover from.

@grs @nixCraft from a company perspective though, when the resource burns out they just screw a new one in its place.

@iokiwi @nixCraft heh, well they couldn't and didn't do that with me. I was head of engineering, designed and implemented the core product of the company from start to finish mostly by myself, giving ownership to a separate part of it to someone I had worked with previously and brought in. By the end of it, I was so exhausted that I knew I had to walk away and just enjoy the payoff when they eventually get acquired if they don't screw it up.

I've had burnout since the start of my career multiple times... but nothing like the last time. Seven days a week, 14+ hours a day. Never before have I had it actually affect my physical health, and it did. Only in the last couple of months has that been resolved.

If I ever work that hard again, its for something I have 100% financial ownership over.

@nixCraft Burnout probably says more about your employer and their workplace than it does about you.

@frankcat @nixCraft Often, but we Autistic people (stereotypically and probably actually overrepresented among programmers) can burn ourselves out all by ourselves, like I did with volunteer work last year at nobody's direction but my own.

@nixCraft @EdCates omg, I laughed... Then I cried. Then I cried more. Then I kept crying. Now I have to stop crying though, because it is time for work.

@nixCraft Tbh this is pretty sad. I remember so many times I was completely burned up and still working because I had to finish something pretty important and clients were pressing me hard.
