Every developer has been there, fixing one bug just to spawn three more. Welcome to modern software development, where burnout isn’t rare, it’s the default. In this video, we’re diving deep into why every software engineer eventually burns out, what causes it, how it sneaks up on you, and what you can actually do to stop it before it breaks you.
We’ll talk about the hidden pressures in tech culture: constant context switching, impossible deadlines, lack of recognition, and the illusion of “work-life balance” that remote work promised but never delivered. From the “full-stack epidemic” to the 24/7 Slack culture, we’ll break down the real reasons developers feel exhausted, cynical, and stuck in an endless productivity loop.
If you’ve ever felt like your code compiles but your brain doesn’t, this video is for you. Learn why burnout in software engineering is so common, what science says about focus and fatigue, and how to reclaim your time without losing your passion for coding. Because burnout doesn’t make you a better developer, it just makes you a broken one.
