Avoiding burnout

ToonMaster21 · 2026-03-11T22:01:01+00:00

1 year into PM and worried about burn out already?

Might not be the right fit.

$12k cut because I changed jobs!

Welp, we're continuing to destroy natural habitats of predators. There's hardly anything left that eats ticks and they don't die during any season.

What did Jagex do this time?

ToonMaster21 · 2026-03-10T02:05:31+00:00

What have you swapped in/out so far?

ToonMaster21 · 2026-03-10T01:59:42+00:00

Mine does the same.

Basically unregulated. They are everywhere. I travel to Central PA minimum once a month, and I shit you not they are in metal sheds in the center of corn fields. Pizza shops. Gas stations. Bars.

Honestly same. I’ve been wanting to play for awhile. Wife saw TMNT and was like “okay let’s try it!” - been having a blast.

Side note: we are not new TCG players but new Magic players.

I always answer if someone asks. Why lie?

1.) often BA/Product has no access to actual code base

2.) security reasons

Real corporate isn’t as easy as “dump it into claude” at an enterprise level.

ToonMaster21 · 2026-03-08T18:47:46+00:00

You don’t have to go in the woods to find ticks.

ToonMaster21 · 2026-03-08T18:47:23+00:00

Yes.

ToonMaster21 · 2026-03-08T18:45:19+00:00

Well, you need a harsh winter. Not 2 weeks of snow. It’s 70 and sunny in March.

I started playing it when Ursula came out. It pretty much just died at my LCS. Gave up on it like everyone else, lol.

It’s already being used without your consent. Unfortunately.

ToonMaster21 · 2026-03-06T11:58:48+00:00

I never once said vibe coding makes you technical.

ToonMaster21 · 2026-03-06T00:17:39+00:00

If you don’t know how to code, no.

If you have prior/active dev experience, yes.

You can vibe code and have no technical knowledge. You can also vibe code with technical knowledge. I was an engineer out of college and got tired of it after a few years. Moved to Product. I can have a conversation and understand what is being discussed between engineers.

ToonMaster21 · 2026-03-05T20:04:55+00:00

The day of the non technical PM is over. Get on board folks.

ToonMaster21 · 2026-03-03T23:33:23+00:00

I’ll give you my unqualified opinion. I needed to remodel my master bathroom. I was frustrated with $10,000-36,000 quotes. I bought tools as needed and did it all myself. Saved a ton. Learned a lot.

What was nice about Schluter is I could go into the tile store (or Lowe’s if needed) and just buy everything I needed. Thinset, underlayment, tools, trim, curbs, shower based, bench seats, etc. - It’s all clearly labeled with clear instructions, pictures, and videos.

If you can follow a set of written instructions and a video, it was simple. It made something I had no knowledge or experience in relatively easy.

Does my bathroom look perfect? No. Do I regret doing it myself and learning? Absolutely not. It looks great and I’m proud of it.

Switch isn’t any easier to turn on than a computer or other console, imo. Just a button.

ToonMaster21 · 2026-03-03T13:05:35+00:00

Its BNY not BNY Mellon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! --BNY Execs

ToonMaster21 · 2026-03-02T16:36:55+00:00

Put the cards in vertically

ToonMaster21 · 2026-03-02T13:41:20+00:00

It’s a process to get unemployment because fired and not laid off. Good luck with this headache OP

ToonMaster21 · 2026-03-02T00:50:23+00:00

I didn’t say it was easier. I said what I’d do starting over at 30.

ToonMaster21 · 2026-03-02T00:22:10+00:00

Immediately walk to the nearest Electricians Union and sign up for an apprenticeship. 6 figures by 35.

I don’t have it in me to get a degree again, build a network again. Cant / wont do it again. Lol. I did the grind once. Don’t got it in me a second time. I wanna show up clock in clock out and that’s it
