I agree, Claude Code has been addictive for me too. It feels like I'm finally churning through a backlog that has been weighing on me for years (decades even). Maybe the addiction is not to Claude but to productivity, and Claude is just an enabler. (And maybe the productivity is an illusion, time will tell.)
Not that I’ll start working on each of these this year. But even prioritising them eventually.
Claude Code gives me the courage to imagine that I’ll have actual progress on big things because it helps me maintain an overview and not get stuck on details or gas out or lose interest, which I tend to.
I recently rediscovered that I had done progress on the issue tracker 8 months ago and that this was so well-made in retrospect it motivated me to pick it up and continue. Leaving something in a well- documented way with weeks of effort poured into it over days is just a gift.
