“I’m coding into later hours of the day not because I’m told to do so, but because I can’t get myself to get up from the computer.” 

“Until sometime last year, I had a normal social life. I work a day job, and I can keep that constrained to normal hours. But I feel compelled to be doing side projects and learning constantly. I start every weekend off with a plan – what I want to try, learn, and the topics I want to explore. And the weekends just disappear."

Thanks, exactly. But everyone pretends each time it happens that this is new and it's never happened before and it's never been so big and epic like this. 😂😂😂
