I didn't have a psychotic break but I had what could be considered a nervous breakdown. I couldn't comprehend anything I read. I could barely think. I didn't have the motivation to do anything but the bare minimum each day. I learned how to fake my condition with my family, but when alone I may as well have been typing "all work and no play..." on a typewriter all day because I was long gone.
Even monoliths are dealing with outbound network calls.
I assume it depends on your current solution, but for a new project, I find that setting up instrumentation and pushing traces to Zipkin or Jaeger is very straightforward, at least on the JVM. Out of the box I can see the overhead on top of DB queries and plain HTTP calls. And if some bit of internal logic is particularly time consuming, I can add a custom span in two lines of code and figure out what's going on. There are of course other ways to achieve the same thing, but the experience feels nicer.
Tracing term is kind of overloaded. In this article its used not as _distributed tracing_, but as _instrumenting_. E.g., Linux's trace points, or any other tools such dtrace, strace and so on. So it doesn't relate to systems design decisions.
if you've got an IT ecosystem with enough monoliths / macroservices calling each other, being able to trace across service boundaries is still pretty useful
She's not really working hard per se. Her net worth is a subject of frequent controversy, since much of her fame was inherited from the Kartrashian family.
No doubt she's done very well, but I took the OP to mean people who've achieved significant things without the absurdly privileged springboard of beauty, wealth and famous connections.
I've been living with depression and anxiety for so long that it is my state of normal. I find cover from my feelings by working 12 hours a day and focusing as much as I can. When I lose focus is when depression resurfaces. I finally invested in my mental health in the last year, seeing a therapist and practicing CBT. This has been a breakthrough year for me, emotionally. I am thinking about quitting my work and working on something entrepreneurial related to mental health. I've found that the most important part of self-therapy is practicing what is learned, developing new mental habits that trigger as countermeasures to cognitive distortions.
I feel like I'm a survivor of a emotional holocaust where people see an emaciated mind and don't understand the cause.
