Devs need to understand this is
really common and nothing to be ashamed of.
You can do as many do and be very careful with your personal time and work commitments, or you can push it hard until you burnout.
If/when you burnout, know that it’s like being a marathon runner. You may just need a break. You may get injured in a way that you think you’ll never be what you were. You may have spurts again where you come back. You may trip and fall back into burnout.
All of this is going to happen to some of us. You can be as ambitious and/or giving as you want. But physically and mentally, there are times in which you’ll need to take a break, learn to forgive yourself, and do whatever you need to do, and that’s ok.
Don’t give up and cut life short because you felt you were responsible for ruining or ending other people’s lives. I believe that God is there for you, and if you don’t believe that, then know someone out there believes that you can turn it around, because I do.
