What's worrisome to me is, that so many people believe that, any emotional engagement and passion for something, you're doing for 30% of your adult life is "toxic" and "unhealthy".

Then we get posts in the line of "I've very good life, well paid job, but I feel empty" - I believe, there were two of them this week already and it's only Wednesday.

To be clear I'm not saying you should suddenly fall in love in pushing CRUDs for your international corp. But maybe next time when choosing a job, try to include into equation: "would I actually want to do this if not for the money?". In SWE we've quite unique opportunity to actually have this choice and yet many try to ignore it on purpose, because apparently it's not "cool".
