How to Survive the Burnout
summary
Claims that 82% of developers report burnout and that 73% see productivity and life harmed drive concrete fixes: schedule weekly plans and daily focus hours, create a dedicated workspace, disable notifications, avoid multitasking, and say no to extra responsibilities. Use TDD, IDE live templates and ADB Idea, git hooks and linters, and delegate publishing to CI (App Center Bitrise GitHub Actions) so releases are automated. Start small playground side projects to learn (Jetpack Compose) and refactor legacy code with tests.
