> But eventually I
started exercising, went on anti-depressants, and started therapy.
Then I got a job that has nothing to do with technology. Slowly my
happiness returned, and with it my ability to focus. I do a lot of
sports now and hang out with my non-techy friends and my wife. I cook
a lot.
Sounds like the issue had less to so with technology and more to do with lack of work-life balance and unaddressed clinical depression.
Depression caused by a burn-out, caused by a very sh*tty professional situation. I don't think it's unique to the tech sector but the tech industry _is_ harsh on people.
