I'm pretty deep in the LLM psychosis right now. It started from ADHD induced burnout for a project I really wanted to work on but I just couldn't get past the mental block. I was able to throw cursor at it and make very solid progress. Now it's also my notes and research assistant.

I haven't written a single line of code in the past two weeks. It's definitely helped me so far. But it's also incredibly addictive. I fire off the prompt, wait, review the plan, wait, build the plan, wait, review the code/test, wait for fixes. Brain will probably explode soon.

I've simultaneously been working less (less active participation from my brain during working hours) while working much more (evenings and weekends). It's easy to fire a quick prompt before you go to eat dinner, then you quickly review and prompt again, then you clean up dinner and prompt again

A slot machine, except one that pays out 80% of the time. Our poor monkey brains never expected such a thing. Hope you find a sustainable path through it all!
