Without one, the developer can run out of energy long before the project runs out of tasks.</p> <p>Burnout is not only an emotional issue. It is a production risk.</p> <p>When a developer is exhausted, decisions get worse, bugs last longer, scope control weakens, communication becomes harder, and the game becomes more difficult to finish.</p>
