Programming is a marathon, not a sprint. That will catch up on you some day. Plus, personally, it just makes life hell. The day passes faster when you get into it and those things prevent me from getting into it (not true of everyone from what I've observed)
- war1025 6y agoI agree completely with everything you said. The point I was trying (perhaps poorly) to make is also along the lines of "marathon, not a sprint". Yes, do your job. But find the healthy balance where you aren't killing yourself for results that aren't appreciated. Work at a pace that you can sustain for years on end. That goes both ways. Don't overwork yourself to the point of burnout. But also don't underwork yourself to the point that you are unemployable should circumstances change.
