1) state how many projects you can deal concurrently, refuse new ones unless relieved from another project 2) let them go into production with their forks to relieve pressure on dependency maintenance: created value at the end of the day will be the same, juggle with more debt 3) seems like a well defined perimeter they could have a new hire for: when not working on a particular bug then work on issues to pay tech debt created by the new strategy for 2) Also, try to get more specific consulting from an on-call hacker firm: assign more tickets to others. Some hackers have passed such burnouts already, and figured how to keep doing what they love and how much they love without risking burnout ever again / have found preventive fixes for their brains.
