Glad to hear things turned out better for you in regards to your health. I was just thinking how big the field of software is. A person could spend years working in just one section in the field. To move into another section requires time and preparation and I think investing into your health buys you that time.

investing in your health is always the right move! Starts with not allowing stress to be a priority. And working out daily, helps that

Stress is a much overlooked factor taking on a new job or project. Most people don't realize it until they have experience the burnout effect. I asked a question to my brother a few months ago: Do diseases reflect their societies? What do you think?

Disease definitely reflects societies!

And yes, I have experienced burnout, so I take time to avoid it.
