geek fatigue

created by mattbw

Geek fatigue describes that period of time at which you are tired with frigging with something, often after you broke it yourself. For example, trying to understand a strange, intermittent bug.

Geek fatigue is a subjective thing that affects people differently depending on level of patience. I think jwz's quote about Linux is only free if your time has no value is symptomatic of a period of geek fatigue.
