Personally couldn't disagree more.
"High mental activity guided by will power" sounds like a fantastic foundation for any role and my ideal.
There is a place for manual labour (been there, done that), and both can work.
People are burned out due to understaffing and/or misallocation of resources.
This is intensely acute for some right now due to the chips falling back down to earth while people adjust to pre-post-pandemic.
- ChrisMarshallNY 5y agoI’m a bit “on the spectrum.” That means that, while writing code, I can go into what I term a “fugue state.” Hours can pass, and I barely notice. This has one fairly visible artifact: My GH Activity Graph is almost solid green. When I come out of this state, I am done. Totally exhausted. Not sore, like I was working out, but definitely physically tired. I sleep well, those nights.
- myth_drannon 5y agoWhat's GH?
- blitz_skull 5y agoI'm guessing "GitHub" given the context of the green activity graph.
- ChrisMarshallNY 5y agoBingo. I apologize for the acronym. I thought it was common terminology.
- RoyBean 5y agoGuessing the quality of (some of) the threads here attract non-software workers and flaneurs, probably in surprising numbers. I thought GH meant Ghislaine Hackswell :-)
- LightG 5y agoI do sometimes like to be called a flaneur. Thanks.
- ChrisMarshallNY 5y agoIs that like a lurkeur?
