I built this because I realized I was stuck in a loop of 'Passive Learning.' I’d watch 3 hours of system design videos but write zero code. I call it being a 'Consumer Developer.'

I tried willpower/blocking apps, but I always relapsed. I realized I needed Negative Reinforcement (High Stakes).

The Mechanism: It’s a Discord bot I wrote in Python.

It tracks the last time a user posted in the #ship-or-die channel.

If last_post_date > 30 days, it automatically kicks/bans the user.

There is no appeal process.

It’s a ruthless system, but it’s the only thing that has kept me consistent for the last month.

Curious to hear if anyone else has experimented with 'Fear-based' productivity vs. 'Reward-based' systems?
