Does anyone else feel like it's a dream when they're coding?

It makes everything interesting. Also, you look at the codebase/business as a whole (a dream), so you don't get caught up in the details.

Yes. The Big Teeth... they're after me, they're after me, aaaaarrrggghhh... and I'm caught in the weeds tangling and strangling me. And the mud, ach, the MUD, and I'm sinking into the stinking ooze and I can't get out and oh god I need to pee and I'm running and running but the teeth, the TEEEETH...

I suffer from DP/DR (a horrible anxiety-based condition https://www.verywellmind.com/derealization-2671582#what-is-d...) and coding hard for an hour can leave me in a similar state to DP/DR.

Yeah. Coding is the best thing I discovered in my life. Im just sad that I was in my mid 20s when I started.

I get to be a “god” or creator and make what comes to my mind. Pretty cool.
