There’s a lot to be said about pressing pause, resetting and unfolding that roadmap often to see if you’re still going in the right direction.
Being a brilliant dev is great, but being a brilliant dev who understands balance, how to manage time, how to focus and be aware of when they’re most productive and effective… well, this person becomes a super dev.

have a sleep debt of 14 hours after a week.
