Coding IS addictive until you have to sit down for 5 hours fixing a single bug
@Dalamain
You know what really helped me? "think small and stay small" ... that cool idea you have for a side project... scrap 90% of the features you've planned, and just build the barebones. As the video hints, you'll get the "win" effect ... and they you can layer on features slowly while benefitting from the "win" for each effect. Otherwise you just procrastinate about how and when to start your awesome side project.

I’ll just build a shack in the woods good bye guys
@chopsueey
If you feel lazy and procrastinate again: tell yourself: just 10-15 min. It's enough to make minimal progress and to push you, because sometimes the 10 min suddenly become an hour. It's about momentum and positive emotions. Keep it simple and doable, and sometimes time just flies by. But you have to start somewhere.

I have this unhealthy relationship with being alive that makes it so any time I accomplish even the smallest wins my heart calls out, "alright, I can just stop now, right?!"
@amosnimos
I code cause I like to create stuff, I don't think about the coding I think about the vision I am trying to bring to life.
@grandpowr
This truly resonates, even opening VS Code feels like a chore
@aronhalaoui3188
The biggest demotivator is, when you look at the clock, and realise that you've been coding for 8 hours, and barely see any progress, because you've been fixing a bug. And then, the next day, you just dont want to code anymore, because the bug is still there, and you dont know how to fix it, or even where to begin with.
@MemeJuiceVids
For me it's just about creating something that I like. That's what makes coding interesting
@Slater8242
Thank you, this is exactly what I wanted to hear. Not to stop coding and having small wins even after few mins spent on coding.
@bgaveev
Bro you have no idea what you just started for me. I don’t even know how this video did this but I am the most motivated I have ever been in my life I am about to crank out the craziest stuff ever thank you so much
@pipoledo
thank for making this video barely longer than a minute otherwise my chronic procrastination wouldn't let me watch it immediately
@iAmLeg13
Short, encouraging, and straight to the point. My type of content.

HAHAHAHAHAHAAHA 1:06 this guy was my internship supervisor in a startup in france
@CascadiaNow69
The shot of vegeta doing 1 finger pushup was ALL the motivation I needed. I’m sure your video was great, but you could have just posted vegeta. Thank you

How I made coding addictive is that I started creating a game project in every single language I learnt and then went to every possible features including to save game and this is how I all the day think about my game progress and in the same way I learn new things like recently in python I'm creating an Earth simulation game for like 1 month I took break for like 3-4 days to allow my brain to operate again but I'm now used to it and this is how I have become addicted to coding
@Theosibo
TDD is what did this for me. TDD not only helps ensure a rock solid stable design, it can also help determine what that 'next win' is by simply writing the next test for the next feature/functionality. When that test turns green, you have your win. Then you can get a win from the refactor, and the next win from repeat. Great vid!
@adarshpatel2257
I sat down and started coding 3 days ago after picking up javascript , i already knew topics like object and classes loops and variables , and i kid you guys not i just started coding and when i coded a simple question and got a desirable output i just couldnt stop , and guys if u are tired of not being able to learn coding just start coding , you dont need to watch tutorials just understand how something works and try to implement it in your own way. i have succesfully done 38 question of my corresponding topics and i have not watched a single tutorial (i used chat gpt sometimes).
@frogery
i hate to say this, and it's going to hurt to hear for anyone who is like me, but i had to quit video games for me to start finding any joy in productive work. when i dont have video games to serve me my "wins" and "accomplishments", i'm forced to get those from the real world but in the end that feels way better than anything i could get from video games. i never imagined my life without video games but the longer i go without playing them the more a waste of time they seem and i lose more interest in ever playing them again.
