    I used to work in tech and I think it’s very draining these days, with AI and the constant pressure to deliver more and more. Could be why people are “sick”, they just can’t work on that level all the time, even being young.

      Yep, they know they need a break, and it’s kinda like being sick anyway. :) I just avoid working that hard in the first place. I almost never stay up late to work. Like once or twice a year if it’s some truely critical thing. Or just something I am really interested in. And if I work after 5, it’s nearly always because I am gaining some sense of completion or satisfaction from the specific work. Never just because some arbitrary deadline was set.
