- mgraczyk 1y agoThere is no crash if you like what you're doing and are surrounded by people who work hard and feel like they're on the same team
- almost_usual 1y agoWork for a public company and get paid in real equity or start your own company if you want to burn yourself out. Anything less is a monumental waste of time and energy. Looks like you’re a founder based on your profile so you’ve also figured this out.
- pitched 1y agoBurnout is: exhaustion, inefficacy and depersonalization. The crash happens when inefficacy kicks because that’s very market-dependent and not really something anyone can control. The easiest of those to control is exhaustion but it’s also nigh-impossible to measure. So I think our best bet is to keep a close eye on depersonalization and shift gears immediately if that ever happens.
