Work is taxing on my mental health, it is extremely hard to see an opportunity and not drop everything to take it.

College is about some self discovery, but you realize you need to graduate with a top job. On the job, you end up running the rat race. Promotion, partner, mortgage, kids, etc After 2...Read more
What’s something about this industry that isn’t *really* a big deal, but gets under your skin and makes your angrier than it should. For me it’s when people are transparently chasing promotions but pretend they just care about “technology excellence” or whatever
