Burnout is unfortunately something that happens to a lot of us in our industry, and it can be an absolutely debilitating experience. In this episode, I review what burnout is, warning signs of approaching burnout, what makes our industry specifically susceptible to it, and most importantly, I review a large variety of tips and strategies you can implement today to prevent burnout.
Hi, I'm James! I'm a software engineer who has been building software for over 25 years. I've worked on a lot of code, worked in a lot of systems, and worked with a lot of people in that time. I decided to make this podcast to share some of the things I've learned along the way.
If I have one, I'd say my superpower is being a highly extroverted storyteller. I love sharing stories, building empathy, and learning from other's experiences.
Join me every week as we explore the undertold social aspects of software engineering!
