    I've been burning the candle at both ends fighting PyTorch, everything NVIDIA, Python, and my own short attention span (squirrel!). In updating the dashboard for CodeProject.AI I've been refactoring a bunch of truly ugly code and as these things go, you pull on a thread and you just...keep...pulling. After two consecutive nights of dreaming about the code I realised I probably should unplug for a day. Right after I fix just one more thing... So am I a little odd or does this happen to you guys occasionally? Or am I just lucky to be working on something that grabs me like this?

      I started at 5 this morning. I'll log off in a couple of hours (it's currently 4PM in the UK). So yes, I get the obsession.

        Yes, the just one more thing before I walk away and give it a break...8 hours later!

            Sometimes. Especially when refactoring code. But I often dig myself in a hole and revert everything back to original code.

              I used to be. These days, just opening the IDE and loading the project feels like a productive day.

                      It gets worse than that. Are you to the point where you can "see" the code behind an application while using it? At least how you would have written it. Talk about being unable to unplug...

                        A pattern starts to emerge in the code, and I have to "fix" it everywhere. (Make it a component, for example) Or the code "smells"; but not sure what to do. "Unplugging" lets the subconscious work on it. (I just completed a user control that integrates 12 syncronized ListViews ... which consolidated 4 loosely related Windows. A master cross-reference of sorts for my app. The itching has stopped for now).

                        "Before entering on an understanding, I have meditated for a long time, and have foreseen what might happen. It is not genius which reveals to me suddenly, secretly, what I have to say or to do in a circumstance unexpected by other people; it is reflection, it is meditation." - Napoleon I

                          Yes, all the time. I just take a break to exercise or take walk with the dog. If I do something else, I can't wait to go back to coding... I've been doing it for 30 Years now.

                            Not at the moment, I'm caught in the "Authenticode maze", really unbelievable how many hoops we have to jump to get our building pipeline working again with the new certificates. :sigh:

                              Do they keep adding new scanning tools too? New tools that pick up the same "errors" that the previous scanning tool picked up but was addressed as not exploitable in the previous scanning tools database that we now have to re-address as not exploitable to the new scanning tool?

                              I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated. I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

                                    Be assured, the pull will weaken with each passing year. It weakens quicker when we realize that the things that once dominated our attention and curiosity are becoming less relevant.

                                      Not with code so much, but I do experience this with other things work related. Being now the manager and sole full-time employee of a small Tribal utility company with electrical, generation, PV arrays and batteries, as well as water and wastewater distribution, collection, and treatment systems to worry about, there are a lot of nights like that. But when it's time to add some SCADA to the system, I'm sure some code will be joining the fray.

                                        I've been burning the candle at both ends fighting PyTorch, everything NVIDIA, Python, and my own short attention span (squirrel!). In updating the dashboard for CodeProject.AI I've been refactoring a bunch of truly ugly code and as these things go, you pull on a thread and you just...keep...pulling. After two consecutive nights of dreaming about the code I realised I probably should unplug for a day. Right after I fix just one more thing... So am I a little odd or does this happen to you guys occasionally? Or am I just lucky to be working on something that grabs me like this?

                                        I don't know about obsession, but some code has left me with PTSD. :)

                                          Do they keep adding new scanning tools too? New tools that pick up the same "errors" that the previous scanning tool picked up but was addressed as not exploitable in the previous scanning tools database that we now have to re-address as not exploitable to the new scanning tool?

                                          I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated. I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

                                          Haven't got around to scanning tools, just preparing builder scripts (mostly DOS batch files) for the new "Signing PC" with the USB dongle where the signing and packaging now must take place, and trying to figure out how we can automate signing. Waded through reams of documentation on the CA's website without finding anything useful, but an article on StackOverflow looks promising ...
