GeneralStaring down burnout - this time a bit removed Pin

I burnt out on bizdev years ago. Seemed like we were solving the same problems ad nauseum. "build me a storefront" simply evolved into "build me a horizontal application framework". Over and over until I beyond mastered it, or at least to the degree that I was going to in this life. So I left the field for years. I packed fish. I got scouted over here at codeproject for embedded stuff so they pulled me back in.

But now I'm over on a discord server helping a lot of jr devs.

I enjoy doing it but it's the same stuff that I burnt out on, only newer.

And all these "upstart" languages like Python *shakes cane* seem to be geared for solving these problems almost at the expense of other things.

Trying to stay positive about this stuff, but also want to shake these kids and get them to branch out.
