For me it usually stops when I mentally calculate how much work it requires, and I realize I’d rather just play video games.

Yeah I'm at that stage too. I used to have a lot of time for projects but as an adult, I really have to be selective with my time and energy.

This is where ChatGPT and Codium.ai has been a godsend for me. Something that would have taken me a few hours to 1+ days to iterate on is now reduced down to anywhere from minutes to an hour. I don't even always see it all the way through to completion, but just knowing that I can iterate on some version of it so quickly is often motivation enough to get started.

If you're paying for the Plus subscription, GPT-4 with Code Interpreter is absolutely OP. Did you know you can hand it a zip file as a way of giving it multiple files at once?

I’ve been using GPT4 actually, and I agree it’s a godsend for lazy people like me. Haven’t been using it lately because all my ideas right now involves fine tuning LLMs, which I can’t financially justify at the moment.
