Burnout is real, not merely an excuse to take a break.
It hit hard during Depost AI's development.
Late nights and long coding sessions were the norm.
Debugging, testing, and analyzing top post formats became all-consuming.
→ We processed huge data of posts.
→ We aimed to create the best possible posts.
→ We managed user comment data to make it humanized and personal.
A robust backend system was built to analyze huge data.
The goal?
☑ To create the best posts.
☑ An easy-to-use extension with a top formatting toolbar for LinkedIn
Our mission was clear:
✔ Make LinkedIn creators' lives easier.
The pressure to deliver led to sacrificing my health and personal time.
Then, reality struck.
↳ Back pain,
↳ High blood pressure,
↳ Signs of depression emerged.
The weight felt unbearable.
A friend's words were a wake-up call:
𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡. 𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐚 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐧, 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚 𝐬𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐭.
I listened.
⤷ Daily 40-minute walks became my therapy.
⤷ Time with family and friends reconnected me to joy.
⤷ Weekend breaks sharpened my focus.
⤷ Those walks sparked new ideas.
⤷ I felt more motivated, less stressed, and healthier.
And most importantly, Depost AI V1 was delivered on time!
We’re now gearing up for the launch next week.
Everything is finally under control.
