Are software developers any different from other professions with regards to burnout?

  It might make us feel good to think we're unique and different, but realistically I can't imagine software development to be much more/less worse than being a mechanic, a carpenter, real estate agent, etc. I sometimes wonder how real estate agents avoid burnout. All of the ones I've worked with work most weekends and are on call 24/7 (because they give you their personal cell phone number to call and text any time).

    Getting your fair share of the transaction helps.
