Emotional Tech Debt

Just saw a meme in #mental about "scheduling that emotion for a later date" complete with Clippy and WordArt aesthetics. It perfectly captures that specific kind of burnout where you just add feelings to the backlog because there isn't enough processing capacity in the current sprint.

Emotional tech debt is real, and the interest rates are terrible.
