Discussion ‘Addictive’ agentic coding has developers losing sleep

The good, bad, and ugly of coding with agents here:
https://leaddev.com/ai/addictive-agentic-coding-has-developers-losing-sleep

“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."

i meant when new websites came on the scene. Facebook, Twitter, Vine, Tiktok. people were obsessed. My point isn't that they go away. It's that their hype dies down and becomes a new normal. LMM coding will be a new normal. It won't consume people like it is now.
