I'm a codeaholic
Bjørn Jarle, 9. October 2024
My name is Bjørn and I'm a codeaholic!
People call me a founder and an entrepreneur. I am not. I am just a guy who likes to code and make stuff. I am a true codeaholic.
I code because it makes me feel happy
I code to experience pleasure and satisfaction
I code because it makes me relax
I code to enjoy myself
I code to reward myself
I code to escape from reality
I code to cope with stress or problems
I code to alleviate anxiety
All this coding sometimes results in useful and often good products.
But....
I choose to code instead of trying to sell my stuff
I choose to code instead of meeting potential customers
I choose to code instead of trying to find potential investors
I choose to code instead of doing marketing
I choose to code instead of sending out invoices
I choose to code long into the night even though I know it hurts my sleep
I choose to code instead of hanging with friends
And....
I lie about how much I code
I lie about how often I code
I mostly code alone
I code a lot in the morning before breakfast
I neglect my responsibilities and keep on coding
I have blackouts and forget the world around me while coding
I become irritable if I am not able to code for a while
I think about coding all day, every day
I ignore my health and prioritise coding
I have coding benders that lasts for days
Can anyone help me? Seriously.
