I wonder if the endless edit-compile-run and "see if it works" cycle is as addictive and harmful as social media. At least with social media I'm interacting with other people.

It probably isn't, given that social media is intentionally designed to be addictive, while tinkering with things (code in your case) isn't.

I was thinking, perhaps it helps to make the edit-compile-run cycle as long as possible.

E.g. coding until 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and only then running code and testing.
