Are you code obsessed?
-
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?
cheers Chris Maunder

You're lucky. Due to workforce reductions the last few years and the long development time for our products, I'm currently spending most of my time maintaining legacy stuff, little of which I wrote. This is frustrating, tedious, and boring. In one case in particular I have a profound need to find the original developer's grave and desecrate it after downing a pot of coffee. The last time I got to develop something new was back in November, and then the challenge was to implement a desired 'feature' in such a way that the customer's piss-off was minimized. I just :love: making my app do corporate CYA.
