Programming is an ever rewarding habit/skill to have.

Especially when you are refactoring your code on Friday evening and your build passes

Especially when it frustrates you to the brink of getting drunk just to stop feeling pain.

Don't overdue it. Burnout is a real thing. It's good to do a few days without coding for the mental health

Except when your burnt out and need to get a product ready in 2 hours or you're spending your weekend working for free to make sure you're not fired for "bad performance".

And on Monday it starts all over again.

Welcome to alcoholism.

In reality only a relative tiny few get super successful with a killer app, the rest get abused.
