alt Hacker NewsI've just come off a 2 month bender using Claude Code for, well, far too much. I had 5 instances running at once for days on end. It felt amazing, it felt like flying. And then something gave way and I couldn't focus on anything for 3 days. Diagnosed with ADHD some time ago I fell into this kind of trap well before LLM's, but not to this degree.
So I'm writing code by hand today and using Claude to track down type and dependency errors. It feels good, I might do this for a while.
I know you're feeling. Similarly, diagnosed with ADHD early last year. I also went on a Claude Code bender basically since the turn of the new year; I like the term "bender", it really does feel that way.
I have also had to step back, for my own sanity, and approach how I am using these tools. They are very strong slot machines, especially Claude models which require more steering, and that's not a good match with my brain and work style. You're not alone! Keep on trying to work better :)
