I think the “difficult to please managers” speaks to me. I’m a top performing engineer and I had no problems leading the pack until I had a new manager forced on me who was very much a “suit” type. He views the team as numbers and everything can be solved by “throwing more bodies at it”

Thankfully I got promoted to a new team but yes there are many causes for burnout

Great read. As a network engineer turned programmer, I didn’t think this would be very educational, but it was. Definitely gonna check out all other content on that site

😂 I feel you, oral was a big part of my range

Well honestly I have the skills of a diamond rank but the matchmaking keeps putting me in with silver rank teammates so I guess I’ll never get out of (barely) gold

Honestly I’d suggest something that gets you out of the house more. Motorcycles, Latin dance, hiking and drinking is what I do for fun. I do enjoy programming for fun sometimes but the inspiration is something you have to find in other areas of life.
