I disagree. I wrestled at a DI level in college, it was grueling, it was incredibly hard, some days I hated it. But it wasn't the same kind of burn out that I feel from software development. I don't wake up excited for work the way I would wake up excited to train. It's just different. The harder you work the better you get in sport.
You may work harder at software development and become a better developer but the gains you may get aren't so concrete, you don't win, you likely won't even get a raise.
- taurath 8y agoAt a professional level, people plateau all the time. They're beaten by people who train less hard but have more talent or ability. You can work harder and harder at a game but not end up better than someone with superhuman reaction times despite a lot of hard work. Also, the game changes due to patches and content updates - all that work you put in for a year understanding a mechanic might be for nothing at the drop of an update.
