For anyone interested, I highly recommend these two books:

It's a fascinating read about the chemist Alexander Shulgin

2 hourflight but you have to get to the airport early. Then you have to go from charles de gaulle to the city center. It's really much more than 2 hours. Also, in my opinion, it's a lot more stress. I'd prefer to hop on a train from city-center Rome and get dropped off in city-center Paris. Way easier. Also, trains have bar cars. Those are fun. Midnight Trains: sign me up!

Google is not all about that

Amen. You can do a lot with pipes, various utils (sed, awk, grep, gnu parallel, etc.), sockets, so on and so forth. I see folks abuse Hadoop way too often for simple jobs.

I've never considered switching to DDG but I'm starting to seriously consider it. The thing that is pushing me over the edge is the latest Google search results display change making everything look like an advertisement. Honestly, it's just super confusing to me and I can't get used to it. Here I come DDG.

how do you know?

American here living in the Netherlands for the past seven years.

The one thing I've noticed about folks taking these burnout sessions is that some absolutely take advantage of the system. Multiple people have told me firsthand that they're on burnout just because they want to be. Not because they're burned out. It goes so far that they lie during the mandatory therapy session provided by their employer in order to stay on burnout. Feels a bit unfair for the companies that have to buy burnout insurance.

Having said that, I think it's a great benefit of working for a Dutch company. Assuming you really have a burnout! If you don't have a burnout but you don't want to work so much then go 4 days a week. This is super common in the Netherlands.

Anyway, Dutch society in general really care about the well-being of their people. I suppose a few people taking advantage of the system is just the cost of living.
