Ignites- Your Body's Configuration is Important, too
summary
Says developers face rising anxiety, stress and depression from nonstop cognitive work, and labels mental injury as as real as physical injury, with concrete fixes: set one-on-ones and check in every two weeks with teammates, use a commute or its absence for walks or light exercise, step away from screens for minutes or an hour, and swap big problems for small tasks; warns overtime and constant availability burn people out and urges replacing binge-work with deliberate recovery.
