A personal essay examining how AI coding agents trigger dopamine-based addictive loops similar to gambling, causing developers to work compulsively until 2-4 AM with degraded judgment and requiring sleep medication to recover. The author argues this differs from traditional workaholism due to zero friction, passive spectator engagement, infinite task branching, and social gamification.
