I mean, it's not hard, you just choose to stop.

All it really takes is an awareness that you're programming to solve a specific limited defined task, not programming just for fun.

Of course, if you're doing it for fun, then fine, don't stop.

But nothing about stopping is hard. It's just a choice you have.
