Most of this overwork is for bullshit, mundane reasons that aren't even worth a rat's life.
- manquer 5y agoNot everyone works in software or builds apps, even if you don't find meaning in someone's work( or yours) it doesn't mean they don't find meaning in that themselves however trivial or useless it may seem to you. A job overworked or not gives a purpose, a lot of people get depressed if they loose a job because they lack the purpose. Also overwork makes sure there is not much time to think about anything else. I don't encourage overwork, however it can have both positive and negative impact on lives.

- bserge 5y agoI'm 100% with you there, but the current ~6 month cycle is ridiculous. And people actually buy a new phone every year, there's no practical reason for that. My 2018 phone is perfect, even my 2014 older phone still keeps up.
