Burnout isn't just "being tired"—it’s a cascading symptoms.

 Do we actually know what it is? Maybe we're experiencing it and just don't realize it.

  • Feeling depleted in spite of sleeping for hours.
  • Feeling negative, cynical, or mentally distant from your job.
  • Feeling ineffective at your work.

Does this resonate with you?

I’m curious to hear from the people actually sitting in the engine room:

How does burnout actually manifest in your day-to-day work? Do you experience the 3 AM background loop replaying code, the total emotional detachment from your team, or the severe processing latency where simple tasks feel impossible?

Let's discuss this. Maybe we'll find that even our own work neighbor might be experiencing the same thing and you aren't actually alone 🤷🏾‍♀️
