nah, L take. Have a life.
I remember going to hackathons and wanting forced timed experience to build anything. I remember going up to the companies that wanted you to build on their stuff and being surprised at their substandard APIs and how lackadaisical and unmotivated those engineering representatives were, I just didnt understand. A fortune 500 team just hanging out a hackathon with no capability or interest in providing real support?
Now I think back and I realize they just had other things to care about
The hackathon and job could be fulfilling, their DIY projects at home were more fulfilling.
Their entrepreneurial endeavors were more fulfilling.
Sure, they could be totally checked out and burned out too.
But it doesnt matter, set boundaries with your job because that definitely doesnt matter.
