I burned out in 2021 quite badly. Moved to Zambia (from UK) and switched from primarily software engineering to wild mushrooms.
Still coded as a hobby and explored the parts of it I enjoyed.
Now in 2024 I'm back in the game and loving it!
Glad I had the privilege to take such a long break and try something else. The key take away here is it took me years to properly recover (and therapy).
Go easy on yourself, don't get swept up in the frenzy of work. Work to live not the other way around.
