In our modern world, it is so easy to let time pass us by, watching videos, playing games, and doom-scrolling online as fatigue and anxiety build up with no good outlet. Our jobs in tech feel like a constant churn of features and bugs, frameworks and technologies, each new and different yet they all blur together. The many layers and abstractions of software that we must suffer through seem unavoidable. Some try to escape this with side-hustles and startups but even so it means trading time programming for time running a business instead.
