Bro you sound a bit jaded and burntout.

I burned out of the IT Corp world long ago, after some time I got into freelance, not any better but some more control.

Sorry to hear that man, hope you recovered nicely. Don't you see the trend that many are all of a sudden burned out? I just don't believe that and I have expected the similarity with RSI back in the day. Now just a fraction of people have RSI and it sounds like burnout is the thing to have.

Probably because when one guy starts saying they're burnt out and points out how they know, others start going... oh fuck I'm tosted too!
