What do you think about the bloggers law in Russia?

Developer here, I already got my burn out 5 years ago and almost had one this year. There is no such thing as a stress free developers job.

Older developers are also extremely rare, because it is so stressful.

How does winter affect the war?

Lot's of stress for developers usually means bad management, not that being a developer is stressful.

I agree, I could develop 3 times faster with the same quality and outcome if I am not being crippled and sabotaged by bad decisions.

My (step)daughter followed me in my footsteps and became a developer :-)

Once in a while she starts to doubt herself that she works so hard and has so little progress. but I tell her time and time again, that it is an illusion. Software has this annoying property that it is so abstract that you can't measure your progress or even compare it to your colleagues.

And the most frustrating thing is that I do great works, but my partner can absolutely not grasp what I am doing. There is nothing visual except of a whole bunch of text code. Also for security reasons I cannot tell my partner everything I do.
