It’s like telling someone with depression to go to war and then be shamed that he had depression. Like it’s a privilege.
If it was easy for OP we wouldn’t seen this post. Intellectual burn out and stress is much more severe than a stress from manual labor
Manual labour can be quite fulfilling compared to white collar work, as progress is much clearer and it can be a nice mental break compared to an office job.
Of course it’s not for everyone, but at the very least it makes you appreciate the privilege of working in an office
Office work can be just as good/bad/meaningful/useless/hard/easy etc. as manual or almost any type of work these days.
It's very ignorant (and outdated by 50 years in a first world country) to look down on software engineers like they are spoiled children whining about their little naive problems.
(I'm exaggerating to illustrate the point).
Intellectual burnout won't fracture your spine.
That's not to say that depression and burnout don't matter.
But complaining about them is a privilege.
How many people killed themselves because of the broken leg?
Also how often severe traumas happen to residentual plumbers? Vs every second software engineer I know had multiple episodes of burnout or depression or other types pf breakdowns sometimes severely affecting their personal and professional life.
