Coding for pleasure I mean. We start a project and then get bored. Like Doomscrolling, for pleasure.

- nsyne 2mo agoI don't think I agree with this. Doomscrolling has a negative connotation - of wasting your time and being unhealthy for the mind. I don't see coding the same way. Sometimes, I code to finish a project and it's a major milestone and I feel accomplished. Other times, I just code something because it sounds like I'd enjoy it and it's fun. I feel fulfilled nonetheless, even if it goes nowhere. I wouldn't equate it to doomscrolling.

- kyzcdev 2mo agoYes coding itself is not like doomscrolling. I wanted to use that term because I lost so much time bu trying to reinvent stuff. I wanted to make a game, and had an idea, but then I thought "why not making a game framework so I make my game". It was fun to build a game framework by mixing PixiJS, Rapier2D, ECS, writing my own loop logic and state management but then I lost the motivation. I just coded a framework for pleasure but at the start my point was making a game. The desire to build something can cause our idea to be dropped.
