So this guy just sounds like he had trouble adulting after college. Happens to many, regardless of industry.

Yep - this article is just a desparate attempt to try and blame a company that people don't like for a completely normal life experience.

I really do not understand the obsession with Business Insider articles on Lemmy. They are such trash.

Not just on Lemmy, it's everywhere

I think it's partially because of how much content they put out. If you look up something, chances are they'll have an article for it. They're also super active on social media & YouTube, so it's just everywhere.

So then people see it more often and it gets posted on here more often

TBH tech is its unique dark horse. Especially raw coding. I’m on the front end and still, juniors are expected to basically glue themselves to a screen 10h a day. I get into flow and after about 5h straight of nothing but a screen, and man, your brain is just loopy.

Sitting at a desk in front of a screen is an awful existence.

Yeah literally all of this was me (who also would have benefitted from therapy at his age)

Reading it on one hand made me feel wiser but on the other made me feel old as fuck.
