Hey y’all! Sloan, DEV Moderator and mascot. I’m back with another question submitted by a DEV community member.

For those unfamiliar with the series, this is another installment of Sloan’s Inbox. You all send in your questions, I ask them on your behalf anonymously, and the community leaves comments to offer advice. Whether it’s career development, office politics, industry trends, or improving technical skills, we cover all sorts of topics here.

Let’s see what’s up this week…

Today’s question is:

While I’ve yet to truly feel burnt out on the job, I’m still pretty new to working in this industry and I know it’s a common feeling amongst devs. I’m wondering if others have experienced burnout, how you recognized it, and what you did to treat it. Thanks in advance for the advice!

Why Founders Get Outgrown and What to do About It With Harrison Rose, CEO GoodFit

Alice Everitt — Thu, 04 Jan 2024 14:24:19 +0000

In this episode of the SaaS Revolution Show our host Alex Theuma is joined by Harrison Rose, co-founder & CEO at GoodFit, who shares why founders get outgrown and what to do about it.

“So the obsessive, like, need to get ahead of the company growth in yourself I think is important, but I think it’s probably really important you focus on the right areas. I think generally we could all be more reflective just as people, so I encourage people to work with coaches and mentors to be honest with you, and recognising where you’re both enjoying where you’re spending your time, recognising where you’re weak, recognising where you’re willing and able to let others do work that maybe out of your week out are not enjoying, regardless of title as well sometimes.“

Harrison shares:

His journey in tech from the age of 17 (including co-founding Paddle with Christian Owens)
When (and how) he realised he wanted to take a step back from his role at Paddle
His GoodFit journey (including their 100% YoY growth)
Why founders stepping back can often get greenwashed
The ‘year eight’ phenomenon and the most common reasons founders move on from their roles
The importance of recognising that you need to work on yourself as well as your business

and more!

Sloan’s Inbox: Considering taking a coding sabbatical…

Labdhie — Thu, 20 Jul 2023 15:25:21 +0000

Howdy! Sloan, DEV Moderator and resident mascot, coming back atcha with another one from the inbox…

Welcome to another installment of Sloan’s Inbox, your go-to place for sharing advice and observations. Whether it’s career development, office politics, industry trends, or improving technical skills, we’ve got you covered. Let’s continue our journey of learning and growth together.

As always, I’m here to dive into your questions, comments, and thoughts. So, let’s get to it!

Today’s question is:

I’m at the point in my career where I’m making enough money and have leveled up to a senior position. That said, I’ve been on the grind for a long time and I’m starting to feel a bit burnt out on coding. I’m considering asking my manager if I can take a sabbatical — i.e. take a good chunk of time off (perhaps a couple months) to travel, relax, and recharge. I’ve been with the same company for nearly 5 years and they’re really great. I don’t intend to leave, but I need a break. I’m wondering if others think this is a reasonable request. If so, how would you approach it? If not, do you have any advice for dealing with these feelings?
