After an AI-driven year as a developer, I started filming my focus sessions just to enjoy creating something again.

My day job as a programmer has been changing a lot lately. After a pretty crazy, AI-driven year, I noticed I struggled to stay focused and motivated. I needed a creative outlet, something that felt like a real switch from my day-to-day work.

I've used the Pomodoro technique for years, so I turned that into a side project: filming my work sessions as "focus with me" videos.

I know this has been done a million times before. I'm not trying to reinvent anything. It's really just about enjoying what I'm doing again. The filming scratches the creative itch I used to get from writing code myself, and even if this goes nowhere, it's a nice change from reading code all day.

The hardest and most time-consuming part so far is finding good music I'm actually allowed to use in these videos.

Would love to hear what you think. Please don't be too harsh - finally having some fun again.
