This feels like a dis to the click-bait articles xD.
It would only make sense if this article was called '42 things you should stop giving F#CKs about' XD.
would be interesting to know how you came to the number 42 ;P
One of the most salient features of our Tech Hiring culture is that there is so much bullshit. Everyone knows this. Each of us contributes his share. But we tend to take the situation for granted.
The real issue is that we are all insane in this industry and have a high level of permanent stress.
Whaaaaat? I live and work in the South of France. Very few people are actually stressed because of their jobs. They live their life, eventually do some work when they are not on strike and don't really give a shit...
Stress is not a standard of any industry, it comes from individuals who cannot give good answers to fake problems.

I'm curious, why everything in France is so terrible?
And yes, I completely agree with the "stressing about everything" stuff. I have a co-worker who on occasions we talk for hours on this. "I'm stressed because I have too much work" and others are like "I'm stressed because I haven't been assigned to a project and I feel I'm not doing anything".
And others stress about the traffic, and the weather, and the politic situation and on and on...

It is not!
France is just a normal country with flaws and a lot of beautiful things.
The economy is supposed to be horrible all the time, but in fact it is much better than the propaganda about it would make you and us believe it is.
On the bright side: if the U.S. would be able to transpose some of the features of the French Healthcare systems, that would be a massive improvment of lives for millions of americans - things like thousands of babies not dying, people being more free to work whereever they work, everyone living a number of years more - while ALSO sparing a lot of billions. ukessays.com/essays/economics/fren...
Now the specific problem a lot of my fellow frenchen struggle with, you can find it by asking two different questions:
A) How are things generally in France right now?
B) How happy are you personally in your life right now?
The typical french answer is:
A) Things are terrible for everyone in France right now
B) But I am personally quite happy, thank you very much.

Congratulations, you now know everything that I know, which is that the complexity is almost never of fact of Nature, but, in fact, the result of smart people being good as making simple things as complex as possible.
Now you can play the same game as me if you see that your friends are being over-stressed over super complicated things. You know less than them about this super complicated thing (since they are the one who obsessed about it since weeks) but you do know that it's probably not super complex.
The only thing they need, is you, their friend, helping them to realize that they are overthinking it.
This is more or less the algorithm to do French Irony(*)
Friend: Oh man, this shit is so complicated
You: Oh yeah. Very complicated. It's the most complex thing in the world.
You: But why?
Friend: I MUST do all those 42 things.
You: Are you sure?
Friend: Yes of course, I SHOULD do this and this and this and this in order to XXX
You: Mmmh I see. That sounds terribly complicated indeed.
Friend: Yes. What can I do?
You: Well, you are not the first woman ever to try to do XXX
You: Did they all have to do those 42 things?
Friend: Mmmh let me think.
You: OK
Friend: No in fact the real problem is that $OTHER_SHIT is so complicated.
You: Are you sure?
(etc)
At some point, friend realize herself that she was overthinking it.
And you both laugh together the stress away.
(*) My greek friend would point out, and rightly so, that we didn't, in fact, were the ones that came up with Socratic Irony

I'm a JS Subject Matter Expert (SME) that has spent the past few years spearheading curricula and teaching initiatives at colleges and bootcamps, in person and virtually.
I have learned to skip over pretty much any post anywhere that lists more than 3-4 things that I 'must' read/do, etc. Too many choices or information overload...no thanks.

Click-bait is a part of it, but frankly I think it's more a symptom than the problem.

Good idea, done!

I was joking about the article name 😂 but the new title looks more friendly.
Yes and thanks a lot, because joking is the perfect remedy to stress.
You cannot really laugh and be stressed at the same time.
Don't believe me? Try do both.

What if I want to become a good
$$PERSON?You're already a good PERSON without $$ you don't need them to be a good person.
I think you nailed it 🔝
I wanted to make a good joke about recursion but I can't find any. Sorry
Conclusion is you don't need to do what all others do to be a good one. Just do what you like and the basics.
