Ever feel overwhelmed by how much there is to learn? Is the pressure to learn Redux, CSS Grid, TypeScript, Go, Rust, Elixir, Kotlin or Elm getting you down?
I guess it depends. For me most burnout-inducing thing is getting bound to same boring things without any chance to try something new. As soon as I'm allowed to use new language, framework or introduce concepts I learned recently, my near-burned-out state goes away.
I definitely think there needs to be a balance. I didn’t mention it in the article, but recently I’ve been learning Swift in hobby projects which has helped me avoid stagnation and do something new. In tech culture though, there is a lot of pressure to learn even more which can get frustrating/overwhelming sometimes.

I think it is called „boreout“.
