"AI genuinely makes individual tasks faster. What used to take me 3 hours now takes 45 minutes. Drafting a design doc, scaffolding a new service, writing test cases, researching an unfamiliar API. All faster."
"When each task takes less time, you don't do fewer tasks. You do more tasks. Your capacity appears to expand, so the work expands to fill it. And then some."
"If you're an engineer who uses AI daily... and you've noticed that you're somehow more tired than before AI existed, this post is for you. You're not imagining it."
Engineers using AI tools for various tasks may experience increased exhaustion despite improved efficiency. The paradox lies in the fact that while tasks become quicker to complete, the overall workload expands, leading to more tasks being undertaken. This phenomenon can result in burnout, as the tools designed to save time can inadvertently consume more of it. The experience of feeling drained is a real issue that many in the industry face, highlighting the need for awareness and acknowledgment of this challenge.
