Dev builds a terminal 'black hole' that warps your code until you take a break

A Ukrainian developer built a black hole in his terminal to force himself to take breaks: the longer you work without stopping, the bigger it grows, warping your code with gravitational lensing. Rest, and it shrinks back.
Rather than a timer-based reminder, it weaponizes visual distortion of your own work as the pressure to step away — a clever gamified take on the break-reminder genre that's been making the rounds in dev circles.
