I think you're right that it's not that really "work" related. What's stopping me is that I don't want to give up the chance of another little "hit" from it. I suppose that mechanism is a big part of why I enjoy coding in the first place, which might explain why it's difficult to disentangle what I like about my job from the addictive nature of vibe coding.
