After graduating with a Law Degree, I decided to stick with my passion for software engineering. Currently focused on learning Javascript. It’s a dream to be able to master it enough to teach it.
Great piece there - You covered it very well. You've pointed out the 'danger signs'.
For the longer piece, maybe solutions to get out of the dip? And some guidance for newbies highlighting the significance of it. Being new to programming is challenging but as there is so much to learn, personally i've felt the need for endless hours of 'focus' which doesn't equate to 'productivity'.
I have learnt to step away from problems and go back to them now, but it took time to understand when it might be the right time to stop.
Glad you found it useful! I’ve had to think about burnout having been through it several times. Productivity can be an illusion - effectiveness and efficiency are more important!
I’ll post here when I’m done writing it up - there is an article on stress on my website you might find useful in the meantime.
