I’m looking for feedback on my daily routine. I work as a developer and, beyond office hours, I spend almost all my free time on digital activities; while driving I listen to tech podcasts. At home in the afternoon (after dealing with family duties) I usually sit at the computer to work on side projects, study new language-model developments, and write articles. On weekends, if I have no other commitments, I spend most of the time on the PC (updates, backups, small experiments).

Important note: my family doesn’t feel neglected. In fact, they let me do it because they see I enjoy it and keep learning. Still, I wonder whether, even with their approval, I’m pushing it too far or if it’s fine.

Questions – Does anyone have a similar routine? – How do you prevent “useful” time from becoming compulsive or unproductive? – Do you have rules or rituals to balance family, offline leisure, and learning? – What signals tell you it’s time to dial back or change pace?

TL;DR: I spend most of my free time at the PC between study, side projects, and repetitive micro-tasks; I’m looking for experiences and strategies to maintain a healthy balance without taking time away from a supportive family.

Hi, I remember that when OpenAI introduced Canvas, someone in the HN comments mentioned another editor that did pretty much the same things—or maybe even inspired Canvas (I don't recall if it was an explicit influence or just a similarity pointed out by users).

I've tried searching through the comments, but as often happens on HN, it's a bit like going down a rabbit hole , and I can't seem to find that reference again. Unfortunately, I also forgot to upvote it, so it's not in my saved history.

Does anyone remember which editor it was?

Thanks in advance!
