Twice in my life now I've thought about the effort I've been putting in to my various projects and the lack of satisfaction I've subsequently received, and generally thought about giving it all up and going back to my dad's goat farm (Note that a single goat can go for about €1000).
Then I let loose for a week, touch grass, allow my mind to wander/wonder and - boom - a new coding project consumes me and I rekindle that initial passion I had once again.
Rinse and repeat, for the rest of my life, and I don't see issue with that.

- boffinAudio 2y agoOne has to wonder if this sort of thing would be less frequent if the West had a decent attitude regarding time off and vacations. Its inconceivable to me that folks in that part of the world don't get more than 2 or 3 weeks off every year, most often, unpaid. (Dylan is an Australian - they only have a moderately slightly better attitude about vacation than the USA, alas. 4 weeks instead of 2-3, on average. /laughs in Austrian ..)
- camtarn 2y ago"The West" usually includes Europe. Since you're in Austria I'm guessing you're using it solely to mean "the US", but that is not the usual usage.
