Burnout – early detection and avoidance (before it's too late)

The part of this that actually hits closest to home for me is the fact that my performance can't scale. I need to grow my ability to be highly performant into something I can spread onto others, or else I will hit a wall, career wise, and the skills needed to do that aren't the kinds of skills you can dump 80 hours into (people don't get back to you as fast as a unit test does).

my number one meter is sleep quality. Two burnouts after this is the most reliable metric. Two nights of poor sleep is serious, very serious. I've learned to take action to prevent prolonged stress, even changing gigs with my dream stack but sky high stress.

I'd rather be unemployed living in a tent than going through burnout recovery ever again.

> If you detect any of these syndromes...

This was basically the job description that destroyed my career.
