AI coding made me faster, but I can't code to music anymore

Hang in there, it gets better and the skills come back. From my github:

  2,350 contributions in 2021
  2,661 contributions in 2022
  381 contributions in 2023 <--- burnout
  794 contributions in 2024 <--- recovery
  1,632 contributions in 2025 (so far)

My recovery took about 18 months. It took time, and a lot of rest. I'd have to sleep like 12 hours a day sometimes.

Thank you for the kind encouragement

I hope my recovery doesn't take that long, but if it does it does

I would rather give myself the space and time to really get better, rather than simply rush back to work and burn out again
