for the last week i've spent almost every waking hour working on a software project
no sharty, no talking to people, no going outside
just sitting at the computer shitting out code till i pass out
i've slept twice so far and it's been 26 hours since i woke up
i've made massive strides on the project but the issue is i'm starting to have existential crises thanks to thinking about nothing but how to design it all week
thousands upon thousands of lines of code having the computer play pretend with error handling and permission checking before reading and writing to the database
what's the point? no matter how robust my application is, it's all imaginary play when i can just bypass it all by editing the database myself
it's just an extremely elaborate database wrapper at the end of the day
most applications and websites are also just elaborate database wrappers
