Man, I feel that deeply. Working in tech has destroyed any joy I got from technology. After several years I got burnt out so badly that I had to take a couple years off

Now here I am, only a couple months back into working and every moment I spend actually doing the work is torture. I used to love it, now I'd be happy to never use technology in a productive way for the rest of my life
