Avoiding developer burnout: a sustainable pace

Programming easily pulls people into crunch after crunch, but real productivity comes from endurance.

# Rest is part of the work

Your brain solves problems better after a break; pushing nonstop usually creates more bugs than progress.

# Clear boundaries

Separating work and rest time lets you return with energy instead of eroding a little each day.

• Enough sleep beats one more hour of coding
• Automate the repetitive
• Say 'no' to protect what matters

A career is a marathon; save your strength for the road ahead.
