Claude Code has been a boon for my software projects, specifically for this reason. I might lose a full night's sleep, but I'm able to stay productive far longer and do what would have otherwise taken me weeks in any given project.

Yeah, I agree. AI helps me bust through quickly on a tedious task, where before that might have used up a lot of my motivation. The ground covered in any particular session is a lot further.
Claude Code has revolutionized my side projects — I've never accumulated half finished projects at a more impressive rate!
Can you share some things you finished using Claude?
In what way does it help you?
I feel similarly. When I'm bored by a task I tend to entertain myself by getting creative with it, its a way of tricking myself into getting it done, but its a terrible habit if what you wanted was reliable software.
Typically, models excel at tasks that are that boring, so I end up applying creativity where it's warranted instead of getting distracted by reinventing a tool that isn't quite perfect or some other diversion.
It can handle the boilerplate that is so uninspiring, it can help move the needle when you don't feel like diving in.
But you have to be intentful to keep the interesting parts and the high level choices for yourself - why by default doesn't happen, and many don't.
