Episode 4: Perspective & Autonomy

Ben and Brian ponder whether work/life balance is possible and if so, how to obtain it, particularly if you are new to the industry. Topics include: whether it's possible to have software development as a hobby if you already do that for your day job; identifying signs of imbalance; detecting and combating burnout; and how to get the right amount of life back into your schedule if you've found yourself too focused on work.
