@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.
