Huh, I wasn't aware that "psychosis" was being misused in this way; good for the blogger to point this out.
I myself have also had the feelings being mis-described in this way, i.e. that agentic coding creates a loop of feel-good progress, that of wanting to make as much progress as possible when I have spare credits, but I describe it like playing Civilization: "Just one more turn". But then, I've met someone who had an actual psychotic break, and their sibling told me of what this looked like when it happened, so I wouldn't mistake skinner-box addiction for actual psychosis.
