Burnout is a result of unresolved and persistent stress that leaves workers feeling drained and unable to reach their full potential. Developers who work long hours, nights, and weekends are more likely to burn out than those with better work-life balance. Many engineering teams fail to sufficiently address the causes of burnout because they focus on fixing people.
