The last few months of working with Claude Code have been basically pure flow-state 8-12 hrs/day. I’ve been a developer for over 20 years and the ability to create at this level, easily 20x my normal natural ability, has been brutally addictive. The only time I really break is when Claude servers are down or I’m about to max my token limits or I’m eating or sleeping or recently - feeling burnt out. When I do finally take a break though I feel anxiety that I could be producing an astronomical amount of work if I’d just get back up and do it. It sounds like a lot of people here are basically in the same camp. I guess my question is: is this the new normal? I remember the energy and drive I had when I was 25 and can’t imagine being 25 again now in this world. I would have dominated everything on the planet. Are we all now competing for who can stay awake the longest and produce the most? submitted by /u/dennisplucinik
