I'm documenting a project about to be submitted as ShowHN.
It is part of a larger collection and have been working on it for many years.
Nearly exclusively coding and now documenting is not going as expected.<p>It is as if writing about what I coded puts my mind into coding grammar.
But when I type it out, it contradicts with lingual grammar, causing a paradox.<p>Staring at it for weeks and I can only get a fraction of it out of my head and into writing.
I have this feeling that my grammar skills have eroded considerably.<p>How can I solve this the best before this takes another two weeks to get the last section documented?
And I'm anxious to get it out before Christmas because it might have a nice surprise.<p>I also read in another thread that FFmpeg is celebrating it's 20th.
This project coincidently has a FFmpeg encoder/decoder ready for submission (last section).
That would be a nice surprise to submit it on that day.
I highly doubt it's causing your lingual skills to deteriorate any.<p>What you're describing though sounds somewhat similar to some episodes of psychosis I've had(stimulant induced).<p>As my tolerance to the stimulants has rose the severity of that particular phenomena has diminished considerably<p>It may be worth asking how well you've been sleeping fwiw.<p>I don't mean to suggest you are experiencing psychosis symptoms btw. But if the things me and you have experienced have anything in common I would suggest spending some time around other people <i>in person</i> in a low pressure situation if that is an option for you. That's what seems to be what helps me<p>edit: you may also want to check whether your problem could be due to heat exhaustion.
Instead of going down the unlicensed psychiatrist route, maybe you should hire/plead/cajole a technical writer to work with you during this crunch time? They could decodify your writing, since an overly-coded style would be precise and clear and it should then just be a stylistic change.
