When I can get in the zone, programming gives me the same feeling as playing a game like Factorio or Civilization. My thoughts get faster and faster, I lose complete track of time, and sometimes even leave my body.
When I finally stop my brain is going a thousand miles an hour and no matter how late it is I won't be able to get to sleep for a couple hours.
It's beautiful and terrible and exactly why I have the job I do.
