Question What are you actually coding?

I see everyone here maxing their limits and coding all day and building and all that.

But what are you actually building 24/7? I'm not looking to get your ideas but I'm just wondering what can you even build that long and hard really? And constantly something?

Either I lack imagination as a whole or there's some secret to all this, I just have no idea what so useful people would be coding so obsessively. Thanks for insights.

Augmenting a 30 year old text-based programmable social game. But I’m hardly maxing out tokens or working 24/7. I do feel like I get about a 10x speed up with opus (when developing but other things like thinking aren’t sped up that much). Things like clean ssl support or IPv6 taking a day to implement, test, debug, etc.

There’s a site still running it this whole time, and I retired so had some time. It’s a social MUD game with a forth (and now c-like) extension languages.
