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

- slimsag 4y agoCloser 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.
