Maybe I'm missing something.

But this feels less like burn out, and more like a very healthy work / life balance to me.



Maybe, but the people around me are overfond of false dichotomies and excluded middles. They think that if you aren't gung ho and giving 110% on a 996 schedule, you must not be passionate about your work.

Which I'm not. I'm passionate about having food, shelter, water, electricity, internet access, and keeping my wife happy. However, that all costs money, and we don't live in a fully automated luxury communist utopia so I've got to work for a living.
