This month I want to highlight an article, How to Prevent or Recover from Developer Burnout, by Anastasia. At Amazon, we constantly try to achieve continuous customer value in an increasingly complex environment. Doing so requires creative thinking, as well as plenty of rote execution. Burnout is commonplace in software development; this article goes deep into burnout symptoms, causes, prevention techniques, and recovery techniques. I recommend this article for anyone who wants a refresher on identifying burnout, suspects they are some stage of burnout, or is simply curious about how to help themselves or others.

I burned out once, and learned a lifelong lesson. Pay attention to changes in your mental state, cynicism, and output quality, and you can get ahead of this problem before it worsens.

“…burnout doesn’t happen overnight, but it creeps up on you. To prevent burnout effectively, you need to notice the symptoms early on and address them as soon as possible.”
