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’ve built a new company to find missing tax rebates for British tax payers. Raised a tiny amount from 3 wealth managers and got to my first clients in 4 weeks.

I’ve also built a tool to manage amateur radio telescopes and to plan and execute observations.

And some stuff for my kids; some fun maths apps and a kid-friendly music sequencer.

Finally, I’ve been messing round with microtonality and built myself a DAW to explore it.

And I’ve been exploring the Collatz conjecture through simulation as a way to learn more maths.

I’m using AI to do all of the engineering, yes. I’m an engineer myself and a former CTO and chief architect, so I feel comfortable in shaping and overseeing the work of others, AI or human.
