No, I just need to be better about moderating myself. I still work on my side projects quite a lot, but having something else to do helps keep me motivated.

Rust used to be correct in 2014 when this was made. It's pretty fucking good, now

I'm a pretty senior dev and have chat gpt open for quick searches. It's great for helping me figure out what to Google in the cases where I can't think of the name of a pattern or type I'm looking for. It also helps quite a bit with learning about obscure functions and keywords in SQL that I can do more research on

Hell, I use Copilot daily. Its auto complete is top-tier

See the thing is I'm fine with it because I know my parents wouldn't have spied on me 24/7. If they were helicopter parents and DID check where I was every hour of the day I wouldn't be fine with it.

And for most people it's fine. This unfortunate person had a heart condition. If you have a medical problem you had better know what you are and aren't allowed to do. People with allergies don't sue jiffy for selling peanut butter

Then look at the label and see that it says its caffeine content, as well as comparing it to coffee

Like, other than not selling it at all, there's not much else they could've done here

If you have a heart condition that limits your caffeine intake, you had better know how much you can consume.

I barely lasted six months or a year without a job last time it happened, and before that I was bored out of my mind for four years

I still do quite a bit. I'm a remote worker so I travel relatively frequently, and my work is generous with vacation time. I don't feel over-worked and simply just enjoy some of the challenge that work brings me. It helps that I genuinely enjoy my work because what I do for work is also my hobby that I already do outside of work, it just ensures I don't stay fixated on a single project which helps prevent burnout.

There's very few things I've found so far that are genuinely entertaining to participate in, and splitting up my time helps me in keeping those few things entertaining in perpituity instead of burning myself out

I do do things for myself. What I do for work is also my hobby, but I have zero self control. I would happily dive into my side projects for weeks on end just to have them crash and burn from burnout or from my getting side-tracked.

Last time I wasn't working I lasted about six months before I had to get back to some sort of work simply because my own personal projects became extremely boring. Even things I have put years into at this point, I ended up getting bored quickly even though I hadn't increased my workload

To be clear, I wouldn't be working full-time, but I enjoy the unique challenges that work brings me. It gives me things to think about and solve that I wouldn't have considered, and that helps keep the burnout at bay
