> It is frequently a good thing to work yourself to burnout for a year or three if it means you can work at 20% for the following 20 years.

Burnout is never a good thing. Go slower. Go well. Thank yourself later.

I disagree. The year or two that ended with me burning out was one of the best things that ever happened to me.

I couldn’t work for two years after it and it was still worth it.

That sums up kind of the problem I have with that type of survivor's bias.

Question to you:

Was it worth because of the burnout or because of other variables in that specific part of your life?

If the other variables were not the same, would you still recommend it, just for the sake of "recommending the experience of a burnout"?

Claude, is that you?

[takigon → mereck]

Since my native language is not English, I use LLM as a translation tool. I am sorry if I have made you feel that the text is inorganic.

[ziml77 → takigon]

Just answer to the best of your ability in English, or if you can't do that then write in your own language and translate that text. The responses currently look like you're asking AI to completely come up with the responses for you rather than including any of your own thoughts.

Thank you for sharing. These are good examples of Albert Borgmann's focal things and the device paradigm.

Hi Pavel,

This looks very promising! We're currently evaluating MEAN stack alternatives for KAPTL, a language and platform for web application development (https://www.kaptl.com/build)

AllcountJS might work very well for us. Thank you for your hard and awesome work on this!

Hi Alex, Great thanks for your feedback! We're about to implement app configuration API to use by other declarative RAD languages like yours. Please reach us in our Gitter chat or by any other convenient way (https://allcountjs.com/community) so we could discuss how can we be helpful.

KAPTL produces an MSSQL/Entity Framework/Web API/Razor app on the fly and lets the user download the source code. We're considering adding an optional AngularJS frontend as well as offering a NodeJS and Python backend alternatives to ASP.NET MVC. Would love any feedback!
