I am so glad I did not pursue a job with them out of college, infosys that is. I told them I was no longer interested and they kept calling my parent's house and even tried recruiting my sister who was in HS.
How they go about stuff with that felt so weird, cause I would never get the same recruiter, makes sense they would do something like this.
This depends on how your relationship with your boss is and how they are. I once encountered the start of burn out and told my boss, and he said to go do something fun. So I played video games while he covered for me and let me know if I was needed for a meeting. It was great and I skirted burn out.
- Should I take time off? How much? Or should I try to work reduced hours?
I have taken up backpacking and have loved taking a day off or two to go out into the woods. I really love just disconnecting from the world.
- If I continue working, is there something in my working environment I should try to change?
Maybe try different text editors? I don't know if doing that would bring more stress as you have to learn new stuff. But, maybe you want to learn it, its up to you.
- Is there anything specific to working in tech and burning out that I should know about?
Burnout as I have been told and experienced is normal, but its usually a sign that something is off like a lot more work has been thrown at you or your team, or you feel like your contributions are not getting the attention you want. Or, you just want to not work because your brain is tired of always working.
As for boredom and not liking it, I have found that it pays to do nothing some times and just daydream at home, doing absolutely nothing. It helps my brain rest and clear out all its stressors.
Also keep in mind this advice is what works for me, but it may work for you. Take it with a grain of salt.
I guess you could say that free speech has limits that are acceptable.
You know you can't yell fire in a crowded room and not get litigation and charges brought against you.
So, maybe 8chan just ran past the fine line of hate speech vs encouraging acts of hate. I.e you can be racist but you cannot encourage acts of extremism.
If 8Chan was a breeding ground for Islamic Extremists would people be okay with still existing?
