PSA: until you've experienced burnout, you are likely to underestimate how long it takes to recover. It's not a couple of months, it's 6-18 months for partial recovery, and maybe 3 years for full recovery (all depending on how bad it gets). The company burning you out will almost never support your recovery, mostly they'll drop you when you stop being productive.
Nobody in business cares about your health but you, so be your own advocate, or suffer the consequences.
@dznz @magsol I remember a talk at an ApacheCon very long ago. It was inspired by https://osmihelp.org/
Hearing the personal story from a friend helped hearing the message.
So did hearing another friend tell a story about the impact time at a startup during crunch time had not on his mental but on his physical health.
The tricky part is showing ppl entering the industry in unhealthy places who lack better examples for comparison that there are different paths.
