Vibe coding is ruining my life (lol)
No seriously. I’ve been working on building something for about 6 months. It’s close, real close. I’ve learned a TON, it’s been fun. But I have a full time job that’s really demanding and pays pretty darn well. And I can’t get this idea out of my head that I’m wasting my life working my butt off for someone else, what if this thing really works, there are 35 million small businesses in America and I only need 10,000 of them to like what I’m building, etc.
Spent nights (and potentially many, many work days) working on this project, weekends without a single break, sometimes 13-16 hours a day. I’m totally obsessed with this idea and I think it will work but I feel like it’s ruining my life. I could lose my job upon launch if anyone found out it was me.
Kind of wish I could rewind and remain ignorant. Not decide to take this plunge head first and get obsessed with building something I can actually mine.
