Devoxx: Code, burnout and depression: an engineering perspective of mental health in IT by Manuel Bernhardt

Code, Burnout and Depression: An Engineering Take

Software engineering may seem low-risk health-wise beyond desk ergonomics and comfy chairs, but the real dangers are burnout, anxiety, and depression—issues Manuel Bernhardt says almost every dev will know someone who’s battled. In his talk, he shares a raw, first-person journey through burnout and major depression, weaving in mental-health research and “if-I’d-only-known” advice.

It’s not a fireproof guide to dodge burnout entirely, but it’s a candid map of pitfalls and survival tactics for anyone teetering on that edge.
