It’s worse when you go to bed and get your clarity as you’re trying to sleep.
Now you gotta decide if you wanna wake up, stay up or get up… I try to settle for writing a note.

I’m a fellow noob, maybe that’s why I found the bath side of it more amusing. I can relate to the pervasive obsession and unexpected eureka moments.

This is why I separate bedtime and tinkering time with something else
Strange electrical impulse and high dopamine level flooding your brain 😍🤪

Yeah I get a little obsessive about my new hobbies to the point where a whole day of tinkering goes by and I barely notice.
I had an 11hr messing about session a couple weeks ago then we had to go out for a family meal because of some important occasion (my 40th birthday) and I got to the meal with a massive headache from staring at a screen all day, only to find it was a surprise party.
My Wife could not understand how on earth I hadn’t worked out it was a surprise party beforehand, but my head was in setting Proxmox up and getting things working.

There’s a quote from 1908’s Wind in the Willows: Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing–absolutely nothing–half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.
Fill in your own hobby, and it reads just as well.
