I feel like i've reached my Limit.

Dealing with burnout at the moment. Going on holiday or switching job is not going to solve my problem. The nature of the job is problem solving(programming). Remember that Breh that worked for Uber as an engineer and committed that,... i understood. I'm at a level i can solve every problem but it doesn't get easier. shyt is ridiculous. Anyone that wants to be a programmer, it isn't as glamorous as thecoli makes it out to be. I feel like i'm a Japanese Salaryman. In this line of business you deal with errors, which chips away at your work/life balance. For example, you have to build a Booking schedule system and you finally finish, all good. You test it, find no errors, you deploy(upload). Now management is testing and they find errors.. now you racing to solve. This is everyday, your flooded with tickets to solve all these errors that you couldn't have predicted. The backlog is crazy. Now i'm feeling Imposter Syndrome. What type of human do i have to be to do this shyt easily Smart people really have it good, they can go home early While i'm here, looking through thousands of lines of code for some bullshyt error. My only rock and stable foundation through all of this, has been...

Maserati XXX has been the ultimate stress relief for me. I know Christians say watching porn you will go to hell but porn has really helped me out. Coming home from a long hard day at work, solving errors and then throwing on your favorite Maserati scene, watching those magnificent breasts in 4k. But i need solutions, this is only temporarily helps. I tried meditation but i'd rather sleep. What can I do to improve? Any philosophies? I got ADHD by the way. Me paying attention is like doing physics.

I want to be the super geek that goes home early

Who says they are a programmer

I work in the cable news industry as a director. I'll just say I work for a channel you've probably heard of and can watch right now.

I'm just coming back from vacation and let's just say this week kind of put me over the edge too with all thesd crazy world wide headlines. And I totally understand how porn and masturbation can be a reliable source of relief and escape as a single man. I don't really play video games or watch TV (besides journalism and sports).

I make well over six figures to save and enjoy a quality of life. But I had to learn the hard way that money does not buy happiness and there's a big difference between doing something you love because you want to and doing it because you have to do it every single day.

Luckily I have a whoooooole lot of hobbies. Sketching usually cleard my head and cheers me up. I love sketching super heroes and characters. I also play guitar, keyboards, drums, synths and have my own little bedroom studio to produce shyt and jam out. I of course love photography and videography. I've also been thinking about buying a nice compound microscope and getting into microbiology as a hobby.

There are tons of healthy and pleasantly addictive outlets out there. Think of something you've always wanted to do. Something to challenge yourself and identify with outside of working. Being always productive and creative is essential to your mental health.

The day is going to come when you're too old to do shyt and you don't want to sit there wishing you explored your deepest potential outside of finishing school and being a worker bee.

I feel overwhelmed at my FAANG-ish company too.

Worse thing I’m customer focused and tasked to find issues. I had to take a step away from the role and seconded to a different team as an advisory for a bit.

Does your company offer that option?

Stop touching yourself so much. That might be contributing to the feeling of being burned out, and also why you're getting distracted from your tasks. Having a little build up is just as beneficial as releasing, if not moreso tbh.

 

[Ahadi]

You need a proper routine.

 

[acri1]

You need to get out of programming and get into IT. I barely have to do anything but babysit servers to make sure they don't go down.

As long as everything is working I just chill and watch Youtube videos. That said, people will be on your ass on the rare occasion there is an outage.

I just knew this was going to be another Maserati thread
