The Mach project led me to this, uhm, _interesting_ article: https://devlog.hexops.com/2021/i-write-code-100-hours-a-week/ https://devlog.hexops.com/2021/i-wri

  2 years isn’t long enough to really experience burnout. As soon as rewards slow down, it will seep in if nothing else changes.

    Closer to 3.5 years now, maybe I'll do an update at 4 years. The 2.5 year initial duration (when I posted that article) was like working two full-time jobs, 100h/week, 80% writing code. Past year has been more like 85h/week, my dayjob has required more time (48h -> ~60h), now with only 30% of that being /writing code/. ~25h/week going to my gamedev passion projects, of which a good chunk has also gone to helping others with their code/issues. The -15h/week 'loss' has gone to caring for pets, and a gentle touch more travel/sleep/gardening.

      Hey, it's the man himself! I'd love to read a followup post if you have the time (hehe) to write it. I'd also be curious to read about how you spend your non-working hours in more detail!

  I appreciate the candor of this article. And I'm not making any judgements. But that calendar. That calendar is wild.
