I relate so much to everything you're saying. I absolutely love the community and spirit of #100daysofCode but the ethos around that 100 days streak can be really over burdening for some. I think more people should adapt the rules around their lifestyle and know its OK!

I found by the first couple of weeks, I had formed my coding habits, it was no longer a chore for me but something I looked forward to. By the end of my #100daysofCode I felt exactly the same as you, "round 2"? "no way!" haha. It doesn't mean I'll stop coding, in fact the opposite, coding was now deeply ingrained into my lifestyle. Personally I think the most powerful thing about #100daysofCode is the public accountability. Which is why these days I like using #LearnInPublic more and I think having someone like you as an accountability buddy is just as effective as #100daysofCode without feeling overly pressured.
