I think a very straight forward cure is just stopping this hamster wheel career attitude altogether. I started to program because I enjoy programming. I enjoyed it at awful companies, I enjoyed it at good companies. The article's suggestion of steering towards 'career goals' is I think mistaken. If you want to be happy in your job you can be happy right now provided you enjoy your craft. This goal oriented mindset drilled into people is terrible because there's just going to always be the next thing.
