Telling words today in a meeting about agentic software development:

"The speedup comes not form letting the AI do the work, but from you doing more features concurrently."

In other words: Work becomes more dense, context switches occur more often.

Some rando on the Internet wrote about my likely future: Burnout caused by the “AI” usage of co-workers.

Maybe this will be your future, too. Caving in and using generative “AI” tools is not a healthy alternative:

A recent MIT Media Lab study reported that “excessive reliance on AI-driven solutions” may contribute” to “cognitive atrophy” and shrinking of critical thinking abilities.

I'm so burned out on the attention economy. I feel everyone is screaming for everyone's attention all at once.

"Look at this AI SaaS I built!"
"Look at how we automated this simple thing with AI!"
"Look at how AI made this horrible mistake!"

I too use AI in my workflows. And I too am building systems with it. And I too wanna discuss what I'm building.

But I'm not interested in clout, or followers, or clicks. I just wanna build stuff that matters, connect with like-minded folks, and discuss the hard questions.

How do you experience the AI discourse these days? And what helped you separate signal from noise?

KI kann bloggen, optimieren, Tennis spielen. Aber sie kann uns auch erschöpfen. Zwischen Effizienz und „Brain Fry“ liegt ein schmaler Grat.

I kind of hate AI

Tried to write a birthday card. ChatGPT ruined me. I typed: “Wishing you a year filled with joy, laughter, and cherished moments.” Then sat in silence, realizing I now speak like a Marriott welcome email. 🧠🔫 #AIburnout #Promptpoisoning

People in 2025 are like:

— I need to touch grass
— I need to hydrate
— I need to go outside

Meanwhile their phone is writing emails in their tone, finishing sentences for them, and offering to improve their vibe.

You don’t need self-care. You need to log out. 🧘‍♂️📴 #AIburnout
