I don’t think Steve Jobs would have tolerated that bullshit. He understood the customer better than that. Actually, this was his main talent.

We learnt that at school back in 1994. Don’t they teach kids about how computers work anymore?

Was $120k/y AUD, 20 years of experience in a variety of settings, mostly Senior DevOps in the last 5 years.

Then burnt out.

Now $24k/y AUD passive income, not working. Much happier life just parenting my kids and keeping fit.

I had that, turned out I had undiagnosed autism spectrum disorder (Asperger’s syndrome) and ADHD as a comorbidity. It’s a miracle I managed 20 years in software engineering.

Research on YouTube: Tony Atwood (Adult ASD) and Russell Barkley (ADHD). It should give you an insight into executive function issues that lead to depression / burnout.

Looking back though, a lot of things now make sense.
