"Pará la Pelota": How You Can Grow without Getting Burnt out
summary
A practical playbook for avoiding burnout: concrete moments (a frantic pre-Thanksgiving release with lots of bugs and a boss saying “too much”), measurable habits (checkpoints and sprint-style retros for personal progress), specific tools (Google Keep, Trello, reminders), a simple ritual (ask for the architecture), and a support structure of three support roles (peer, slightly senior go-to, mentor). Expect actionable examples of what to say, what to log, and how to set expectations.
