I sometimes feel the same way and have some health related issued from that world at 36. I try to get on a better track for 3 years now and it gets better. This also involved a job switch, psychological and physical work. At least the amount your time and lower back allows.
Is it really escaping when you were never really there in the first place?
While 3-4 years can give you a good idea of the field, it also leaves you quite naive of the bigger picture, especially when you keep quitting to run away from computers. No doubt burnout is real and you can hit that with the picture the blog paints, but I’m left here wondering what the point of the blogpost even is? There’s no actual meaningful details or introspection about tech and burnout at all.
There a difference between burnout and just not into it as a career, clearly they fall more towards the latter. That is what feels like the article should have been about, coming to terms with the fact that it just doesn’t work for you long term, that’s not just burnout there’s a lot more to that, but instead it’s all just swept under the rug of “after a year or two my soul was sucked, burnout! Must escape!!”
