The problem with tech is that the landscape is changing so rapidly. Businesses can hardly keep up before they are obliterated by a new competitor from nowhere. They spend years and millions developing tech assets that age poorly because everything is moving at light speed.
So often at my job I feel like I'm pissin' in the wind and struggling to build sand castles as fast as I can before the next tide comes in.
Luckily I am excited to work hard and innovate, but it's like sprinting, it cannot be sustained forever. That's the main problem with tech culture: there is no concept of resting, or taking a break. You code at work, and then you go home and code on the latest tech to learn and keep up with the industry.
