Is this a sign of burnout?
Yesterday, I spent the whole day prototyping a new software project. The work was time-consuming and laborious, and I had to get back to square one many times during the day.
Now that it's weekend and I could be relaxing, I feel like rushing to the office to work more.
Is this a sign of burnout, I wonder? I don't feel anything uncommon aside this urge to work on the project.

It is impossible to say for sure, but that doesn't seem like a burnout, yet. Maybe you feel that the project is urgent, or maybe it's the pride. I'd say you'd be suffering a burnout if you're being (for example) irritable, fatigued or if you often have trouble sleeping. Let me warn you though: sometimes it's hard to notice the stress. Keep in mind that software development is very brain intensive, and your performance will suffer if you don't relax enough. I'd say that working for one day and a weekend intensively isn't going to hurt you. But if you do it for a long time, you will probably burn out, especially if you get disappointing results. (I'm telling this from a recent experience with a software development project)
