I actually really like this. As long as you’re enjoying yourself I think that’s fine. And when you do (if you ever) feel the incoming burnout you can simply stop.

I feel like coding is the perfect thing to get addicted to because there’s a material result at the end. Unlike reading books or dining out with coding there’s a public record of all that you’ve done, plus it’s useful to the world, plus it’s a self promotion tool to show that you’re a capable programmer.
