i think a lot about how it's hard to assess maintainability of work conditions because you're often burning down the burnout clock instead of building it up.
think about trying to assess your gas mileage while you're driving on the highway. you've got an MPG readout on your dash. you can always get the MPG to increase by letting your foot off the gas a bit, but when you do that, you're eating into your overall velocity and eventually you'll just stop.
no matter what, you can always increase MPG by decreasing speed. similarly you can always increase your project output by creeping closer to burnout. you've gotta keep track of where you are on that line, because there's big consequences to burning out!
thinking about this bc i saw someone posting about their high output since doing some project management changes and using ai. and i'm still suspicious! because what if they're just getting excited and burning the burnout candle harder without realizing it?
i just don't trust anything in modern work culture to be taking care of us in a long term way
