I'd get that way when I was still working. I think it's a good sign--it means you really care about your software and craft--as long as it doesn't become an obsession.

When I have an issue with my development projects I will just keep at it until it is resolved.
Even at 73 years of age I will keep going for a straight 8 hours trying to resolve something.
Then, of course, I will sleep quite well in the evenings.
Nonetheless, I code all day on my current endeavors...

I can remember going for about 24 hours one time. And that wasn't even something that I liked doing even then.

I was up 'till 3am the other night debugging an ESP32 OTA update issue. I just couldn't leave it knowing I still had something in mind that could potentially fix the problem. Thankfully I did fix it but still had enough sense left to avoid deploying it to the remote devices until I had some sleep.
So yeah, it's normal.

It's weird how much we talk about SoC and breaking this stuff into independent microservices.
Meanwhile, you literally cannot get a foundational codebase going without venturing into 23 different 'disciplines' and sorting every detail from top to bottom of the 'sample starter project'.
(I'm not talking about CP.AI; I haven't played with it yet).
The little I've ventured into PyTorch and NVIDIA CUDA stuff owing to the huggingface stuff... yeah I'll keep rolling my microsoftian ball up mountains for now. There's too much world in all the mostly-python-dominated ML stuff for me to feel like I can take a substantial bite. I'm already eating bakeries out of other cakes and getting Google's "go fish" graphic.
Praise for the work, but I do not envy it.

You're lucky. Due to workforce reductions the last few years and the long development time for our products, I'm currently spending most of my time maintaining legacy stuff, little of which I wrote. This is frustrating, tedious, and boring. In one case in particular I have a profound need to find the original developer's grave and desecrate it after downing a pot of coffee.
The last time I got to develop something new was back in November, and then the challenge was to implement a desired 'feature' in such a way that the customer's piss-off was minimized.

Good question! Decaf makes no sense at all!

I do. My current recipe is ⅓ caffeinated and ⅔ decaf. My body is accustomed to a certain amount of coffee per day, but my cardiovascular system can't handle all of the caffeine.
I tried telling it "Hey! I quit smoking in 1991, what more do you want?" but it wasn't impressed.
