Have you felt so burnout that it feels like you’ve forgotten how to code?

If yes, how you’ve solved?

I feel like I hit rock bottom. Everything takes forever, and I even forgotten how to do a pull while speaking to a junior recently.

Furthermore, I have to do a performance review and I can’t even think of anything worth mentioning. For sure I’ll be in the next layoffs that should happen soon.

Job market is quite depressing right now. All positions that pay what I need to earn are asking for someone with 3 heads, 8 hands and 9 d*cks.

I miss the times where it was possible to be a senior and just code, without any BS, without having to prove that you can make the company earn N millions more.

@idkhow you mean you forgot the git pull command? Yeah my brain crashes hard and forgets stuff like that when crashed.

@TeachMeCode yes. Had a complete brain fart trying to remember if it was necessary to do a git fetch, or if a git pull was enough.

I dont even remember how to code anymore. I am tired to declare variables and shit. I just open copilot and ask it for a method to do stuff I am too tired to think about.

I did/am going through something similar. I'm so slow on everything these days, problem much simpler than things I've solved before take me ages, sometimes it physically hurts to think when I'm stuck. I struggle to retain processes/company ip.

I feel like I have no capacity for any kind of feedback that has any emotional aspect to it, I know I should just take it in stride, apply it and improve but I get pissed off and ruins my day.

Today I'm also just tired af. One of my colleagues just said 5 minutes ago that I don't seem myself. Like if people are noticing, you know it's bad.

Feel like whatever passion I once had for development has been squeezed out.

It feels like I got burnt out I don't think I ever worked hard enough for that to happen
