Forgetting time, space and everything else while I write code.
Not that I've almost set the kitchen on fire before by forgetting the pizza in the oven while writing "this one little function".
I'm curious as to what you program/work in. I'm the same way when I'm invested into a configuration/template (I work with the cloud)
It doesn't really matter for me what it is, as long as it is a project I'm working on xD
I think at the time I was migrating a discord bot I to use PostgreSQL - or setting up auto backups for it.
When I'm baking bread, I have to set timers for myself to make sure it doesn't overproof or burn in the oven.
The feeling is wild. I sit down, set a timer for 1-2 hrs, start work, and with the snap of a finger I'm torn out of my zone by my alarm sound.
