A quote that made me think a lot this morning:
> Why are many talented software developers drawn to solving impossible problems, drinking unhealthy amounts of coffee, neglecting their sleep and personal lives, and constantly trying to fix everything and everyone around them while ignoring their own psychosocial needs?
@eaplmx That’s a tough question. On the surface, apparently an unwillingness to accept the status quo. “That sucks, I’ll fix this.” But on deeper levels, i.e. why or how that happens (brain chemicals), I have no idea … 🤔
Did you find any answers?

@eaplmx Man you just described me. I don't understand why I'm still at my day job despite all the unnecessary pressure, stress, bullying and poor leadership 😢 Yet somehow I continue to work hard and do the right things (I try) 🤦♂️ I'm killing myself here 😢 And for what?! 😳

@prologic I've been there, working for a huge corporation... Now I'm kinda doing the same in my small indie company, trying to find a purpose and many things more besides money (really necessary)
I don't want to say we are hopeless, I guess we are finding something there to walk the steps to something higher, but perhaps it's going slower than we wish.
@movq The remaining quote says that finding the answer takes a whole life.
For me, it has changed every year, I guess solving problems bigger than us is something aspirational, but finding the balance with our health isn't easy, or at least it hasn't been for me.
@eaplmx @prologic lol reading that and being still at work at 7:30 PM fixing a Java code ( PS : I m not a Java dev, the code is not mine, I m not even a dev anymore )
@prologic you need a rest, comrade. i hope you take a holiday soon.
but to answer your question. you're a good man providing for your kin.
also we get to commiserate on the weekends when we're both done working 100hrs and are hallucinating that php is now a compiled language by default :-)
