Last night I came across the news of a 32-year-old programmer in Guangzhou who died suddenly, and I couldn't help but think of myself. I work at a Web3 exchange, and the intensity is something you can feel: I work 6 days a week, very busy from Monday to Friday, and on Saturday, nominally I "just keep an eye on things," but if something comes up, I have to deal with it immediately. From Monday to Friday: busy from 9am to 11 or 12 pm at night (involving account and permission issues), they will reach out to you. Occasionally encountering pin-in events, getting up at 3am to handle public relations, reassure users, and write copy is normal. I could endure this kind of life until I turned 32, provided my health checks out. Sometimes I brainwash myself: in the current economic environment, making more money and being healthy seems like a choice between the two.
So at the exchange, generally being able to last 1.5 years is already the limit for me. It's really not that I don't want to, but my body and mind won't allow it. $BTC
