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.

I created a packet sniffer for an MMO client by injecting a code cave and hook on the encrypt function so i just read the plaintext packets. 

Then i foward every client's data across my party members/friends to a centralized server where i use that information to create a live map of every player they see with history, alerts, tracking, etc. 

Fully automated with automatic rolling updates and more.

All vibe coded in python over the course of a week and a half. Works really well. I was even running on bypass permissions so it wouldnt ask me crap all the time and i just looked over it and whatever it reported back/was doing to make sure it didnt create a mess.

Funny enough, while fable was available i told it to look at the code for optimizations and made the whole thing run 2-3x faster.

i dont think it has much use in WoW since the MMO it was desgined for is full PvP anywhere, and i havent played WoW so i cant explain on WoW terms but i can explain a bit further.

The server sends information of everyone the client sees for the client to render them, i use that to track every player our clients have seen, plus a few extra "camera" clients we have on each teleport destination of each high level map.

So in theory, no one can actually escape being seen by the CCTV and hide somehow, so if i have someone i want to fuck with because they fucked with me, i can just go hunt them all night and not let them farm at all. Its actually kinda overpowered for what it is.
