alt Hacker NewsI probably have some kind of pysccosis. I've had a personal $200 plan from one of the AI providers since March 2026. I'm never not making things now, I haven't rebooted my laptop for weeks because there is always an agent building something.
I cycle between 4-5 work projects and 2-3 personal projects. Every night I tell me agents I'll be going to bed and to not ask questions and keep going. I've always loved building things, but this feels more like an addiction than healthy sometimes.
They're not all done, and half the projects I bench, but this is where my personal projects live. https://wooten-labs.com

not gonna lie, you don't need to be doing these projects. they're not really worth it. instead of building an app to help you meet up with your friends somewhere central just go meet up with them and explore together.
I like your landing page for Stealthbox. Playful and stylistically distinct. Wears its AI generated origins with casual pride.
I do wish the Github link wasn't borked.
love the website, but quality control is important when working with these agents.
ex. i tried cool walk (https://wooten-labs.com/coolwalk) and the 'Download on the App Store' does nothing at all.

I have a cheap mini PC I use as a devbox. Beyond meaning I can close my laptop and close all agent windows, it also keeps agents out of my personal shit.
They look like awesome apps*, as long as you're balancing your time by using them (they're outdoorsy and social!) I'd say you're doing fine. Take some extended time off if you need!
*unfortunately I'm android
That's a really nice website!
I hope you are doing okay bud, sounds like you are doing too much.
Nice website :)
respect. this is how i've been working the last 4 months or so. it's a bit crazy making and i do think i'm enjoying things less because i'm preoccupied, but i sure do feel productive. lol.

No you don’t. You are doing everything right :)
Honestly it does sound like an addiction. Touch some grass...

Most harnesses now support something like this:
Other than that, look after your own wellbeing! Nothing wrong with letting agents work overnight, just don't overextend yourself and don't spend all of your free time on it.
