Before you will make any significant changes in your life I highly recommend to take long vacations. It depends how severe the burn out is. Maybe you need 2 weeks, maybe 1 month, maybe 2 months will help.

I am generalist with strong computer science background. In the past I wrote VPN in C++, software for DJI drones (fun fact: I debugged it on a unreleased device that was in the US while I was located in EU and I made all thing work ;)), enterprise apps, tools for code analysis, integrations with medical devices communicating over bluetooth and so much more.
I like challenges and non-CRUD projects.
Moreover I have experience as a lecturer - from the feedback I received people really liked my courses.

Carmack has proven his extraordinary technical skills. I recommend following his Twitter. Sometimes he posts non-obvious technical stuff. I read some interviews and to me, he doesn't seem to be a person who is driven by gaining popularity.
I think this news is very optimistic, as yet another intelligent, talented and hard-working person is joining the field. Moreover, he is a household name, which may lead to benefits like popularization of the topic, gaining investors attention and so on.
I will keep my fingers crossed for him :).
The gene: an intimate history by Siddhartha Mukherjee - fascinating book about genes and medicine. Author explains ~150 years of experiments and findings in genetic science without going into technical details.
The child in you by Stefanie Stahl - it is one of the most important books I ever read. This book helped me understand myself, discover and overcome some of my traumas.
Nonviolent communication: a language of life by Marshall Rosenberg - very good handbook for improving your communication skills.
Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus - when I think of this book word "charming" comes to my mind.
As far as I remember G+ had very granular privacy settings - idea of circle. Could that help to filter out political trolls that are so common in these days? Would anyone like to use such social media?
The story tells story of Cambridge Analytica. Author describes how it all started, how they gathered data and influenced people. Also he describes how it affected politics. It is very well written and feels like really good political-fiction. Unfortunately his descriptions match how last two political campaigns run in my country. Same approaches were used to get people votes. I rarely used my social media accounts but after reading this piece I decided it is the right time to leave all of them.
I don't use any social media. After reading "Mindf*ck" I decided to quit all of them. Surprisingly if you cut off all facebooks, instagrams and reddits, it turns out the Internet is quite boring place.What are your favourite sites where you procrastinate? Sites without political trolls are preferred.
Hi,What is the most rewarding thing you learnt recently? It can be something technical as well as non-technical. Some samples:- I learnt how to play "Lewis & Clark" by Tommy Emmanuel - if someone is interested then this tutorial is dope https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLsgI-TiX9s - After 13 years of break I started to relearn French. - I started learning Rust
Hi,Are US companies afraid of hiring contractors from Eastern Europe?I'm a dev from Poland with 8 years of commercial experience. I worked for US companies, visited the US a couple of times. I am a skilled developer and I rarely see my CV is rejected by recruiters - I had an opportunity to work on some cool stuff that draws people attention.I noticed companies that are looking for remote devs...
This pandemia is not the first in the history but for the first time we know that much about what caused it and how we can try to prevent spreading it. What would you like society to learn from COVID-19?Like this may be the best moment to change food habits, eat more vegetables because they are healthier and after cooking they can last very long so in case of insufficient supplies you can...
You can find a lot of articles about the most successful startups / companies in 2019 but these lack information of one-man companies, unless you started as a one person and now you have dozens of employees.My candidate is my friend. He built mobile app that generates revenue around 30 - 50k $ per year.
Hi,I need to change technology to avoid burn-out. 7 years in messy mobile world is more than enough. It feels like all my effort to get M.Sc, solving complex math & CS problems, everything was for nothing - in the end I write apps that display list of elements on the screen. Moreover demand on Android developers in my city is decreasing, right now there is no offers at all.I think natural...
If I was asked to give some hints, I would say:
- in optimistic and pessimistic cases don't fear to use extreme values
- don't estimate on your own, take reasonable amount of developers with variety of experiences
- don't give exact value to client, give probabilities ("it is very likely that we will be deliver this in between X and Y man-hours/days)
All estimates I made using PERT were quite accurate (<5% time difference between estimated and real execution)

I decided to run scrapper to fetch all the data about available apartments in my city. Thanks to that I was able to browse offer at speed of tinder. It took me a few hours to write all the stuff, it saved me probably weeks.
To avoid getting caught I decided to setup TOR on my raspberry pi and use it as a proxy. It was extremely easy and reliable. Sites were so slow I didn't notice significant performance drop. I didn't care about changing proxies because TOR made it for me.
Except that it is good idea to change User-Agents and add some random delays between calls. Luckily for this case it was enough.
