Instead of creating the app that's big, just build the same app but with fewer features and less complicated. This will give you a clearer understanding, and your big app will be much easier to code.

If you have an AI assistant installed, such as Cursor or Windsruf, or GithubCopilot, just uninstall it and use a plain editor like VSCode, NVim or even Jetbrains IDEs

Turn off the WiFi when you code. Yes, sometimes you need to look up for the docs, but the docs are not cheating. If you still need to turn on WiFi frequently, it's not that hard. Set a proxy wall in your device and block all the AI websites(e.g. chatgpt.com, v0.dev, etc.)

I’m wondering about attachment and transference with the therapist and the idea of escape and fantasy? How much do you think your strong feelings, constant thoughts, desires to be with your therapist are a way to escape from your present life? I wonder if the transference serves another purpose than to show us our wounds and/or past experiences, but is a present coping strategy for managing what we don’t want to face (even if unconsciously) in the present—-current relationships, life circumstances, etc. Can anyone relate to this concept of escape in relation to their therapy relationship? How does this play out for you?

Just step back and learn the concepts again, but deeper.
