Most Americans don't believe their personal information is secure online and aren't satisfied with the federal government's efforts to protect it, according to a poll. But...why?

Thanks to a recent installation of The Atlantic's ongoing series about conspiracy thinking in America, I just learned that the Internet is dead. I'm really sad to hear none of us exist
I really want to hope that this was started as a prank, but I really can't tell anymore.

Microsoft is launching its next perpetual version of Microsoft Office for commercial customers today, and promising an Office 2021 consumer release on October 5th. A new version to add Dark Mode?

I was hoping for yellow on blue mode.

But will that be the last version of Office?

The pandemic has exacerbated stressful work conditions for software developers. The good news is that there are many strategies developers can adopt to manage stressors while they contemplate larger, more impactful decisions. Developer fire extinguishers

Don't mind if I do. Thank you!

Quote: the World Health Organization defined burnout as “a syndrome conceptualized as resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed.”
The WHO has it all wrong.
This is my definition of burnout:
"Working on mindless tasks that don't take any advantage of my skills as a software architect, and those mindless tasks involve working on code where there was clearly no one with any skills as a software architect." (feel free to replace the nouns with whatever the job is.)
My technique for managing the stress? Double or triple the hours on my timesheet as a "stress multiplier" and do something else. Which I also justify because I know for a fact that since my 20's, I get things done 2 to 3 times faster than practically anyone else, and better quality as well! Sadly, some days, I can't get away with that because there's a constant flood of "help!" requests.

I don't know if to feel honored or worried that I do and feel exactly the same despite being a professional developer only since 10 years

Scotty was right: always multiply your estimates by a factor of four. It's the only way to maintain your reputation as a miracle-worker.

Sometimes it's just because you burnout. Sometimes you suddenly think; I just can't do this anymore.
(Having said that, I once worked five straight days with about eight total hours of sleep. Got eight hours and then worked another twelve. I was rewriting a completely broken feature two weeks before release. Took me three months to write meaningful code again.)

I feel you. I once worked 40 hours straight, because some salesman told the customer that we could have a new feature in one week before release. I was the only one on the team that had any experience working with that type of functionality, so of course, I got convicted... I mean, selected.

Unfortunately not. It was in the late 90's and I worked for a consulting firm out of Chicago. I was assigned to a project in Allentown, PA, so no way of knowing who it was. I lived 4 states away, so I had to catch a flight home after that stent. Once I got home, I went straight to bed and slept most of the weekend. That Sunday night, I had to catch a flight back. I was in my mid 30's then, so I could handle it and the money was really good.

 Yes, I remember those times.
Fortunately I'm approaching an age when I'll soon have no recollection of those times!
