Let’s Talk About Dev Burnout

I don't like how easily working late becomes something to be proud of. Sometimes a deadline is awkward. When every week needs an extra evening, we should be asking what is wrong with the workload.

This is a conversation I'd want to have before someone reaches the point where they can't face opening the laptop. Be specific about what can wait and who can help. Telling people to look after themselves means very little if the same amount of work is still expected tomorrow.
