The 2 a.m. prompting bogs down to FOMO of not being fast enough with ideas, and that some other people will implement it faster and one won't make the share of money they envisioned.

I certainly don't have this problem. Even with LLM assistance, my hobby projects experience slow, steady growth, but it's done on my terms. I code when I have a mood, with or without LLM.

Recently I bought a Claude subscription only to use it for 3 days to speed up some coding. Then I cancelled it and stopped. My creative days ended, and I got to other stuff. I know I'll lose 27 days of possibilities, but I couldn't care less. If I'm in the mood to code with AI, I'll buy another month, maybe only for another couple of days.

People, stop accelerating at full throttle, find some real joy in life. It's not about the amount of lines, features or products shipped, let alone about amount of dollars you brag about, if they need this much effort and sacrifice.
