Nice article. I think you touched up on a very difficult and very deep subject that somehow in this noise talk of frameworks can easily get lost on a young mind (and old for that matter) that reacts as if it so far away from them, it's never gonna happen. Until it does. Two months later...You're having panic attacks, you don't recognize yourself anymore, but most important you start questioning everything you do. I've been around in this industry for so long (>25 years). I have had it happen several times to me and I've seen, chatted, helped hundreds more. It ends believe me. Especially if you find out that it is not the end of the world even if you don't work as a developer or even worse: entrepreneur. After each time I find something new to be grateful about. I have to say with me, personally it has not had that influence. I've had crisis, of course. But I think that today I love what I do even more that when I was starting out. Or, maybe I've just gotten better at noticing and appreciating the little things, you know, family, friends etc. :)
