I think we have a problem
Well, I went through a dry gaming spell, so I did a lot of vibe coding.
I think I may have a problem. I find I enjoy vibe coding and seeing my ideas come to life more than I like playing games at the moment. Is this the gaming phase finally fading at 43 years old, or is it just because it is a new thing to learn and enjoy?
I still dip into games, but I struggle to commit long periods to them, and prefer to come home and spend an hour coding before bed for my next shift than doing anything else. I am still on the $20 Claude bundle because none of my projects makes an income to fund higher, so I find myself dipping into games while I wait for my usage limit to reset after I hit it, yet again.
