Poor developers, making 500k/year working in perfectly safe conditions must be real tough. I don’t think burnout is the reason for the dip in quality, Apple so

  I don't think there is any correlation between compensation and burnout. Why would you bring comp into this discussion?

      Maybe the fruit bar at Apple Park is only restocked once a week now. Not a joking matter.

      And how exactly are those things related?

  Thank you for the reminder. This random developer (not from Apple) does feel some exhaustion, but I have it lucky compared to some other folk and should be grateful for that. Hoping those other folk who have it worse will have some relief too...

  Oddly, being paid more and being safer while others get worse can actually contribute to burnout. Comraderie and morale matter. Burnout is more about a disconnect and dysregulation between workload/emotional regulation/stress/morale than it is about any one of those factors. As anyone who has burnt out at a super boring job, or a pointless but high stress job can attest. A high stress, high risk, job that matters, keeps someone interested, and someone can take breaks from is much less of a burnout risk than one that someone can’t see matters , or they don’t grow in, regardless of the stress level or ability to take breaks from.
