Over the past few years, I have learned:

  • Have a hobby that has nothing to do with coding
  • Realize that if a company is paying you to write code, it isn't your code
  • If you burn out, (more likely than not) your employer is just going to replace you

You need to take charge of your own physical and emotional care and not intertwine what you do for a living with who you are as a person.

On that note, I'm going to go grab my drone and head to the park. ;)

Man, that is a hell of a point. Cheers for taking the time to respond; hope you have fun at the park. <3
