    Holy shit. This video is what I needed now, especially the part about socializing.

    At 23, I quit my job as a QA PM following severe burnout. That was 5 months ago. I have since lived off of savings, isolated myself from all social groups, and got into coding big time. I thought I would code 24/7 for however long it took until I make it big one way or the other to eventually 'live life' -- a vague plan for a vague goal.

    I'm now realizing that's probably not the best way to about things and the past 5 months have just been a short blur. Hasn't been any good for my mental health either. It's so easy to lose track.

    I think I'll take a step back now and reevaluate my priorities.
