My theory: burnout has nothing to do with how many hours or how hard you work. It's caused by working for people you don't like, towards goals you don't believe in, in systems that grant you no agency.

Aussie. Building a new programming language for CAD @Zoodotdev. Prev @Cloudflare. I run austinsystems.org. My tweets have been read out in Australian parliament
- Bitcoin was supposed to demonstrate the power of a true free market. Instead it's full of scams, rent-seekers, theft, useless for real purchases and accelerates climate change. Mission accomplished.
what are posts that aren’t load-bearing anywhere but your personal lexicon. like the ones that weren’t really popular but are so enshrined in your mind that you just assume they got hundreds of thousands of likes- We're adding a fifth string type called "Strang". It's subtly different to String but we're not going to tell you how.
- Breaking: we have cancelled async Rust. If you need to run multiple functions concurrently you can simply buy more computers.
- Guys I think firing 75% of your engineers has some effect on the stability and ship speed of your product :(
- We're thrilled to announce that Oracle has bought Rust. We will be re-licensing `std` and all tooling as closed source. We'd like to thank all the unpaid contributors who have worked tirelessly over 10 years to line our pockets and say "so long, suckers!" from our new superyacht
- Wow, I LOVE this new Rust release! The compiler now specifically recognizes Git merge conflicts and explains what they mean. ❤️❤️❤️
- Replying to @adam_chalThis might be conventional wisdom but I also hear a lot of people talking on tech twitter who don't seem to understand this
- We have removed the "unsafe" keyword after realizing that nothing is ever truly safe. Everyone you love can betray you. Trust no-one.
- man I am so glad I worked at Cloudflare, they broke me of my obsession with perfection and gave me an obsession with delivery speed and reaction speed
- We're thrilled to announce that in Rust 1.65, you can have multiple mutable borrows of arbitrary values.
