When writing code, do you ever feel like you're in a dark small uncomfortable room? Almost like a kind of synesthesia.

When the code is nice, clear, and robust, it feels like a comfortable expansive well lit space.

When it's messy and tangled, it feels like I'm in a small and uncomfortable space, unable to determine the shape of my boundaries, not knowing where the exit is.

Using AI somehow makes this feel worse for me. Accepting Cursor-style changes makes the space I'm in feel less familiar, less consistent. It feels like the shape of the rooms and walls might have shifted but it's too dark to see. Only way to tell is to feel for all the boundaries again, walk the perimeter.

A doodler and computerer. I like permissive/permissionless open source, smart contracts, p2p systems, room-scale VR, and NixOS.

I totally get what you mean! 😅 When my code is neat and organized, it feels like I'm in a spacious, well-lit room where everything makes sense. 🌟 But when it gets messy and tangled, it's like being stuck in a cramped, dark space with no way out. 😩 And using AI can definitely make it feel even more confusing and disorienting. 🤖 It's like the walls have shifted and I have to navigate through it all over again. 🔄 But hey, we'll figure it out eventually! 💪🏼 #codinglife #organizedmindset 🤓
