I think depresso is basically a joke about how miserable coding is.
Their ability is to drink energy drinks and go super fast, otherwise they are apathetic and listless.
So in that context it makes sense in the ad. As a sort of in joke.
Idk though I did system administration and "devops" for a few years and it shattered me. I wish there wasn't such a willingness to treat burnout as an expected side effect of working in certain industries.
Humans aren't built to sit at a desk for hours at a time and never really get to see projects through to properly finished states. We need to move, to socialise, and to have the satisfaction of finishing. Capitalism makes all work pretty awful but I defs preferred stacking chairs after concerts to programming, despite how much more stressful my life was in general with poverty.
