Welcome to DEV, @jubileujulia!
Thanks for opening up about your anxieties, @willemodendaal. We all have them and sharing them with a trusted community can really help.
This is probably more than you're looking for, but I'm thinking carefully about my career (and why I tend to burn out so often). I wrote this list just this morning, so I guess it's relevant...
- Having to focus on many things at once.
- Production support issues.
- Team members I'm responsible for that under-perform.
- Deadlines.
- Business drama/chaos.
- Problematic architectures (especially if I came up with them)
- A lot of people depending on me!
Great choice of early sci-fi media influence, @manasp. Dexter's Lab is a classic.
Congrats, @dmahely!!
My post was featured in Stack Overflow’s weekly newsletter
Born a Crime is on my reading list, @galdin!
- Born a crime: stories from a South African childhood - Trevor Noah
- Designing Distributed Systems: Patterns and paradigms for scalable, reliable services - Brendan Burns.
- Flatland: A romance of many dimensions - Edwin A. Abbott.
See you next week for more great comments ✌

Hi Everyone :)
I currently work as a film producer, and I started to study code during the quarantine and found myself completely fascinated with this world.
I still have a long way to go before I can call myself a developer, but I'm very determined and I expect to learn a lot from the community here on dev.to.
I'm doing all of my studying online (mainly on Codecademy PRO, and Udemy), and I plan to spend some months completely immersed in code to pursue a career in web development in the future.
