About to start my day coding. You?

It's 9:45am. I take my first sip of coffee. "Ready to code?" my mind asks. Absolutely, I am.

I generally don't like to code before 10am. That first hour of the day, from 9am–10am, is when I like to prep. Read emails, review my work journal, check out the social meeds. But, it is so hard to resist.

Coding is like a drug for me. I'm sure there's dopamine involved. It's unbelievably satisfying to hit a "flow" state. It's almost like all time ceases to exist, and endless creativity flows from within.

Does coding feel the same for you? How do you get your daily fix?

Nice 🙌. "It's almost like all time ceases to exist, and endless creativity flows from within." Exactly! I've been doing this for a long time, but still love to code more than ever.

For me it depends on the project, if it involves C++ and when it doesn’t work i want to shoot myself in the leg 😅 if it’s something like go or TypeScript, alot more enjoyable!
