Why it worked
The video taps into a common frustration and misconception about working in tech, particularly software engineering. By highlighting the 'infinite backlog' and the blurred lines between work and personal time, it resonates with viewers who experience similar pressures, making it relatable and shareable.
Summary
The video discusses the nature of working in tech, specifically software engineering. The creator argues that there isn't a strict 9-to-5 schedule because the backlog of work is often infinite, and tasks can arise at any time. Unlike some non-tech jobs, work in tech doesn't necessarily end when the clock strikes five, leading to a perception that people are 'manufacturing' their 9-to-5 by choosing to stop working.
