Maybe relevant to watch this video for a first hand report of burnout from a coding rockstar: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=UIDb6VBO9os" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=UIDb6VBO9os</a><p>From personal experience think that programming pretty much crashes and destroys your personal life when you really, really want to go above the rest.<p><pre><code>   Everything changes, except you and your computer.
</code></pre>
That&#x27;s how I feel anyways. Don&#x27;t sleep much and pass every waking hour on and off solving some coding problem.<p>I remember when there was no computers. Existed more beer, fun and happiness. But at the same time didn&#x27;t felt as happy as getting something epic solved.<p>Maybe one day it looks as it is all worth. Maybe. Enjoy your life OP, you only get one.
