Yep, two days ago, I closed my work laptop, because I was tired of coding, then half an hour later, I saw myself picking up my own laptop to continue on a side-project. Had to stop myself there, because it does not help with the exhaustion.
I decided to make some music instead, which is thankfully something completely different. 🙃
Shameless plug 😋
But I like what I see, it’s like LaTeX but for music sheets! I might want to try something with that!

Work takes all the fun out of coding for me. I haven’t touched a side project for a year.

I have no clue why this works for me.
