Moved to Bay Area a little over 2 years back and feel so burned out and stressed all the time. House prices, taxes and rents are crazy high. The Tc bump of moving here was not worth it.

Normally, I'd go to Europe or shit l...Read more

The internal reusage across company is almost zero in my current team. Components are often rebuilt from SCRATCH. I am often NOT...Read more

How did you get burnout and how did you recover? Mine: I founded and led a startup for years that ultimately ran out of cash. Instead of taking a break I jumped straight into a cross country move and a high pressure engineering management role in a new super fucked up organization that almost immed...Read more

I personally don't think I have as much work and stress as the folks at Amazon or AWS have but I'm feeling it. Juggling my job, family and a degree at the same time. Poor choice you might say. I thought abou...Read more

Looking back, I was also unkind to my coworkers/family during that phase. I think focusing on the long term is ultra important Good luck in your marat...Read more
