#2This was very nicely written and resonates with my thoughts. Get off the hamster wheel!

#3Sorry, is there actually a story here? Summary: random IT guy quits for the same reason most people leave their jobs("I’d become bored of doing the same thing day in, day out").

Agree, I also didn't see the point. I guess people upvote "Today I quit my job at [famous company]" because they feel it is an act of braveness?

Can only agree. Now this just reads like: has Apple in the title to generate more views, but has nothing to do with it whatsoever.
I also kinda frowned upon the sentence "have been living with a depression for the last 7 years". Of course I cannot know for sure, but I know these days there's too much people using 'depression' to describe the typical not-so-happy feeling any sane human has from time to time about himself or the world. And that comes nowhere close to a _true_ depression.

or because it will generate page views?

#7On June 3rd 2013, I started working [...], this week, I quit.
This article has no substance, and even if it did, he was not at Apple for very long.

#8I admire people that roll the dice like this, and I've probably done it more than a few times myself.
The one that stood out for me though - was being healthy and losing weight. It can be just as difficult to be healthy when you're doing nothing, when you're travelling, when you're working for the man, when you're doing 80 hours a week in your own startup -- or even this guy, who says he was in his (perhaps) ideal job.
A lifestyle reboot has it's place, but I've found thought-processes like "if I wasn't working here I would be healthy" are rarely true.

#9I thought it best I chime in on this, as I wrote it.
This was not intended to be shared on a site like this, it was written with those around me in mind. It just so happens I like Medium.
If you think that I wasn't here very long, that's fine. If you don't like the content, that's fine. You weren't the target audience. I just posted something to explain to those around me why I was making what a lot of them thought was a bad choice.

On the depression front: I know a lot of people use it as an explanation for having a down day. But believe me, I wish that were the case. The last 7 years have been an emotional roller coaster, and not one I would wish on anyone.
Honestly, I wasn't going to put Apple in the title to being with. But someone convinced me I should. Kinda wish I didn't now.
