Maker of software products and a builder of teams. Director of Engineering
@ Zwift.comâš¡ We're hiring! Helping developers rise via The Rising Dev newsletter.
I feel like it's daily for me now. I reach burnout mid-day and need to pivot to something that gives me some energy back - going on walks has been helpful. Still, by the end of the week, I feel floored and drained. Definitely spending more time lately monitoring my energy and emotions.

What I think it is: 1) I'm introverted and alone-time energizes me, but given the current covid situation, and working from home, I have family around me most of the day. 2) Lots of zoom meetings, and no more hallway conversations with co-workers, or doing short meetings together while taking a walk -> which means less human interaction. There is a dichotomy here in the sense that these seem like contradictions.
I understand you.
My burnout comes from legacy spaghetti code and ongoing issues that are stopping me from working on that awful codebase that past me wrote it :)
