Trigger warning: mention of suicidal ideation
tl;dr: I burned out as a developer at Amazon at the end of my second year. I’ve since found a healthy and sustainable work-life balance and enjoy work again. I write this to A) raise awareness, especially for new-hires and their families, and B) help give hope and advice to people going through the same at Amazon or other companies.
Hello, world

There’s been no shortage of anecdotes, opinions, and rebuttals regarding Amazon’s corporate culture as of late. I write this not to capitalize on the latest news-feed fad, but to share what I had already written and promptly deleted. I didn’t think anyone would want to hear my story, but it’s apparent people are going through a similar experience and don’t have a voice.
I’m a Software Development Engineer II at Amazon; SDE II basically means a software developer with at least 2–3 years of industry experience. I started at Amazon as an SDE I.

## unfollowers.rb
# Simple script to send you email when someone unfollows you on twitter.
#
# Replace email on line 24 with the email you want to receive notifications at, and
# twitter handle on line 23 with your own (or whomever you want to track unfollows for).
#
# Set up a crontab to check however often you like. If someone follows and then unfollows you
# very quickly (within the interval), you won't get an email.
#
# Requires that you can send mail from the command line of the environment where
# you're running the script using mailx, e.g. `echo "body" | mailx -s "subject" foo@bar.com
