I heard about the slow news movement but cannot really find something that fits my needs.Do you know any media that help you stay informed in a more sustainable way? My ideal would be a short (readable...

I am a freelance web dev, bootcamp graduate. I often feel like a fraud when I build my projects as I often miss the correct computer science foundations to understand deeply the topics I am dealing with. This is why I will dedicate my 2018 year to teaching myself CS. I will follow the Teach Yourself CS curriculum (https://teachyourselfcs.com/) and will try to go through it in 1 year.Who would...

Whaou, really interesting. Sounds really like what I experienced. So maybe it was not a burnout. Thanks, you are better than my neurologist :p

I had just finished the writing exams after my two years of preparatory class (a specific program we have in France to join the best business and engineering schools). During the 2 weeks of exams, I was sleeping 3 hours a night on average.

When I woke up one morning, everything seemed really blurred. I could not precisely get where I was in the room and, when I tried to talk to my parents, they seemed really far away. I was also deeply tired and just wanted to sleep.

After 2 scary days like this, we went to a neurologist. He looked at me and asked my parents to leave the room. Looking at me, he told me: "I know you take hard drugs. Tell me anything about it so I can help you". I have never taken any drug. When he realized this, he did a lot of tests but found nothing. He just asked me to rest.

After 2 long weeks, I slowly got better and finally fully recovered. The neurologist told us it was probably some kind of burnout. It happened 2 other times few years after but it was less intense and I am now able to feel more precisely when I work too hard or sleep too little and that there are some risks.

Love the concept! What about the people who want to freelance after the program? What will be the fees for them?
