Original: Obsession-I built an obsession tracker for developers...

Short summary

A weekend hackathon project called TOTAL_OBSESSION_DETECTOR uses Google's Gemini API to humorously analyze developer obsessions and generate jargon-rich defense letters. The full-stack Node.js/React app implements a multi-model fallback waterfall (gemini-3.5-flash cascading to lighter models) with exponential backoff to ensure uptime. Structured JSON outputs power progress gauges and diagnostic displays in a neo-brutalist UI.
