Have you ever stayed up at night trying to fix a problem, just to realize the other day that it was just a simple mistake? Or do you feel that ever...

Thank you, 😊 yes this is very important. Also I think we should share this advice to Junior developers who have just started their career, at first they are very excited as a developer and sit long coding, without thinking about the eyes, hip and overall health.
What we can do ❓
dev.toleft sidebar tags, add sorted health tag above or belowJavascripttag.Great write up. 👍 👏 👋
Yes! I feel like this is not important for everyone who's starting. Just because when you are starting you want to do everything and be the best fast.
Also I think that companies should help you having burnout in mind and help you have a day off to chill, we used to do that in one of the companies I worked for!
And your ideas are really great, a sticky note saying "don't forget to take water 😛" can really make the difference 🤔
I concur, having a good work/life balance is super important.
Bringing work home just leads to grief in my experience.
Sometimes it can creep up on you tho.
These are some great tips/things to look for. :)
Yeah, sometimes something can happen that leads you to working from home even in not working hours 😪
But if it doesn't happen to often it may not be a problem 😄
Hi, I read this post, very good advices, I'm pretty sure I will be the only one who will say this but, but depends on you, I mean, if you want to be a Senior Frontend developer you will need to work so hard to be the best, because you are not the only one who has the same target like you.
You can say "You need rest, stay away from programming, sleep 8H..." but I'm pretty sure is somebody (maybe more younger than you) who is programming, reading and learning more than you or maybe faster than you, and if you don't want to stay behind you need to do the same or better than the other, because both are working for the same target.
Now imagine you want to be Senior FullStack, or IT engineer or Sysadmin, you can't stay resting at home, or sleeping because you are not working alone for one of this targets, that's how I see that.
I totally get your point, and it's exactly why I didn't say a quantity of hours when talked about sleeping! It depends on what you are doing, and how much it requires your mental effort.
Even if you want to become the best of the best, you still need to rest correctly, or you will suffer of permanent damage in your body. I feel like going into your 30s with having headaches everyday, heart problems and being always stressed it's not a good trade for your health. Even if it takes you a bit longer, your body and mental health will thank it, at the end of the day, it's a matter of balancing the mental effort with the rest 😄
I felt like someone was reading my mind. Love the tips! I am still struggling to get that life-work balance without feeling guilty. I am getting better at it but still have a long way :))
Great post.
Great advices
Hi Codedgar,
Thanks for the post! You have some really great tips on what to watch for and what to do.
Hey buddy, thank you for this! I never forget to exercise daily, it really helps..
Awesome article I agree on the need to rest to become better.
By just seeing the title in article feed I genuinely though the actual article would start with a phrase "Now, When I have your attention..." xddd
Good one, btw :)
So glad you posted this! Taking good care of ourselves should be a top priority.
Great advice! I'm trying to share with my peers the same thoughts as you wrote in this article :)
