Fucking truth, especially for software engineers. I spent most of today debating whether to use npm or pnpm for some project that's probably just going to get mothballed anyway.

I mean I know my worth, but I definitely don't work even 1/23rd as hard as even the laziest delivery driver imaginable. Even pretending to be a delivery driver is more work than my actual job.
