Addiction, it's a kind of addiction impossible to fight
I am 60yo and I code everyday for the sake of it. I use AI extensively as it helps me create more apps than before, one every couple of days. I don't sell them, I hoard them like if having more apps makes my universe bigger. My addiction has no sense at all but I don't try to fight it as it produces immense frustration and much greater pleasure, and that extreme change in moods is what makes the addiction stronger, just like a gambler or a fentanyl abuser

That's me, and I don't want to be cured
