I'm a codeaholic
Bjørn Jarle Kvande, 9. October 2024My 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.
