Software engineering isn’t really a 9–5… the work never fully ends 😡😡😡

I think it applies to every single job... there are always more cars to fix, more meals to cook, more houses to build, etc. etc. the difference is they can chunk the jobs more concretely. A car, a house, while tech projects never end.

This is basically any white collar job nowadays. software engineers aren’t special in this regard.

Correct - sign off and accept that you did an appropriate amount of work that day and just continue tomorrow.

This goes for everything now. Work never fully ends unless you consciously shut it down. Since having daughters, I made it physical. I go home and leave the laptop in the car. Along with my corporate fake persona.

Laughs in hardware.

This is so true. When you accept this, it makes your life also easier and you just stop at 5

One THOUSAND PERCENT. That's been my life for a long time now. Especially everything being high priority tickets. You would think there'll be some low level stuff that you can just table for now; nope, everything is that deep. At the same time though, rest is depressing 😂😂

It’s a lifetime commitment

This guys a moron, tech is nothing like that. Get a new job ya dumb shit

Just stop working at 5pm and do something else
