I'm more interested in why the site reloads the top portion of the page after the initial load. You can tell, because the top image changes from the person sitting on the left side of the table a flipped one where they are on the right side of the table.

Perhaps tech workers should unionize and demand better healthcare, 40 hour work weeks, etc.
I get the sentiment, but some perspective is in order. We're in the goddamn catbird seat. We make a shitload of money, we actually do have good health insurance, and we punch keyboards in a heated office at a desk. We're not mining coal or working in the fertilizer plant from The Jungle. In this economy, if your work environment sucks, the door is open and there are greener pastures. The biggest problem is really tha…
On the other hand the health insurance doesn't make any difference in these countries since it's the same for all citizens so I am not sure how is that relevant.

Furthermore the fact that programming can be fun enough for lone wolf hackers to do their open source projects for free means that unionization efforts would probably lead to a greater industry reliance on actual free work, not less.

I've never had an issue with any of those things. Maybe people should move away from the valley into the rest of the country where the jobs are more humane

If you can't afford to buy a house on a single-income where you live you aren't making a shitload of money.
Tech is a small club. There is a blacklist. There are backchannel lines of communication. Piss off the wrong people and it will follow you for years.

> We make a shitload of money Not exactly true outside certain areas, mostly in the US. In The Netherlands for example > 80k euros is considered pretty good pay. > so much of what we do is boring, and, in the greater scheme of things, pointless This I would say is actually quite a big problem, one that can lead to burnout in the longer run.
More than twice the average income? I don't know whether that qualifies as "shitload", but it's not that far away, no?
Speaking for myself, a tech industry Marketer, I'm pretty damn burnt out!
Thanks for creating a tool to help us visualize and keep reference of where we're mentally at.
It might be a cool feature to have the ability to save your report and trigger repeat measurements over time. With that data, you could then 'map' the mindspace of the user and how they are hopefully working towards triggers and burnout.
I don't think burnout is really about overwork so much as spending even 40 hours a week doing something that is contrary to your own personal values. I suspect a lot of people work on things (ads, selling more crap, getting people in more debt, etc.) that they ultimately don't think really matter or are a net benefit to society.

My healthcare is 100% paid for and my work week is 40 hours 99% of the time.
