Is Just Me Or
this post may not be for everyone, so skip it if you are not in the mood for this subject. but I would know what people think.<p>tech people has gone nuts.
working overtime like if it was OK to do it everyday.  no weekends and no resting. many people I know are working 16h per day for months straight. 
others work less but keeps studying things for their job and I can&#x27;t call this rest.<p>I&#x27;ve been working like 15 years in tech industry by now.<p>I see many managers now expecting people to be fully prepared in a bleeding edge technology from night to day.
and devs are suckers to believe that they will get promoted for skill and not politics.<p>hr people wants you to do side projects and they even are asking for week long projects as part of interview.<p>as said before, it&#x27;s just slavery with more steps. actually much more effective than slavery, but may be a post for another time.<p>i don&#x27;t think about it as a problem of keeping pace, this always have been this way. but doing this extreme stuff has suddenly changed from an extra to an obligation and it is not ok.<p>being sit for many hours will destroy your prostrate. looking to a screen will get you blind and typing thousands of lines of code and emails per day will get your hands to hurt.  what will you be doing after 20 years ?
if you think 20 years is much, remember that you&#x27;ll probably have to work. 
maybe you&#x27;ll have to do some other kind of exquisite work because AI took a part of your job  but you&#x27;ll need to be working, probably receive less and less.
is this the world we want to build ? (pun intended)<p>tech people became trained dogs and nobody will tell its wrong because we are the first generation of this era.
