All the time. I feel like crippling anxiety, insecurity, mental anguish and deep self loathing is par for the course in this career. When it gets to the point where I literally hate myself for being alive, I start to consider dropping everything attached to a circuitboard and cleaning floors for a living instead. This happens about 2-3 times a week.

So (despite the triteness of the slogan), thanks for doing that.
