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.
