Ok. Am I the only guy in here, who is not capable of long-term coding?

Don't get me wrong, I do understand the basics and would love to be a hackerman programmer, but when I focus on coding for more then hour, I loose my ability to think and my head hurts...

:blobcry:

I am serious. I have not spoken about this to anyone, and considering just how many programmers are in here, I know this is the best place to ask.

I need to know if this is "just a phase" and if many people go through it.

@LukeAlmighty have you considered using a pomodore method? Focus 25' Rest 5'? Maybe that helps you, could be worth a try.

@chuculate no, I have not tried anything in particular yet, because since the huge burnout that was causedy by me trying to stay at an amazing school, I have not tried any big project. That being said, if I don't break that problem, it will sevearly damage both my hobby and employment potential.

Thanks for advice. :ablobcheer2:

@LukeAlmighty Do you use bash? Have this script, it gives you a countdown on your terminal. It helps you remember to take a break.

#!/bin/bash
hour=0
min=25
sec=0
while [ $hour -ge 0 ]; do
while [ $min -ge 0 ]; do
while [ $sec -ge 0 ]; do
#echo -n echoes without a trailing newline
echo -n "$hour:"
#mins and secs with leading zeroes
if [ $min -lt 10 ]
then
echo -n "0"
fi
echo -n "$min:"
if [ $sec -lt 10 ]
then
echo -n "0"
fi
echo -n "$sec"
#CL and CR for tidiness.
echo -ne "\033[0K\r"
let "sec=sec-1"
sleep 1
done
sec=59
let "min=min-1"
done
min=59
let "hour=hour-1"
done
#When the countdown reaches zero, you execute something.
#I prefer some music.
