BURN-OUT

It's not that you won't work overtime — it depends on the situation, mainly whether there's free dinner.

Normal hours, occasional crunch, not quite death-march territory.

Lying flat is a life philosophy, and I will not be taking questions.

Good enough is good enough — we're not launching rockets here.

If it's fixable, fix it. If not, mark it Won't Fix.

You know you should pay it down, but it always gets pushed to the next sprint.

On the surface it's "got it," internally it's maximum roasting.

Collaborate when needed, solo when needed — introvert-extrovert switch on demand.

Wearing the mask most of the time, occasionally letting a genuine curse slip.

Still thinking about that bug at 3 AM — anxiety levels rivaling the night before finals.

Even when your code works, you suspect the compiler has a bug.

Resignation letter is already written — just waiting for the final straw.

AI? Let's wait and see — let others be the guinea pigs first.

Learning? Work is exhausting enough — after hours I just want to lie down.

Got ideas but no action — plans stuck in the notes app forever.
