I worked in a kitchen and it is intense grueling work. Everyone drank a lot at a minimum and had plenty of other vices. My coworkers were much more interesting and fun though than most people I’ve worked with in software development since. Even so, I’d probably be an absolute mess today had I stuck with cooking. I’m impressed with anyone who can make it in that biz without going insane.
