It’s the exact opposite for me. I don’t get tired at all from using AI. I am one of the people who enjoy building and not necessarily coding. A part of me is sad that I don’t write code anymore, I did have a thought yesterday when reviewing a PR, but working is fun for me again.

What was making me tired was all the doom and gloom online. I stopped consuming certain news and stopped going on Reddit entirely and my outlook is noticeably better.

I haven’t cut out sad news entirely but I don’t read speculative opinions about things that don’t actually affect me.

In terms of the overload I find that the clearly defined problems have much more obvious solutions. Identify your pain points and use AI to build you a tool or reusable prompt to make your life easier. It’s a constant refinement process to figure out what helps you.

For example, I was having a hard time managing multiple sessions so I had it build a window manager with notifications and color coding based on session hooks and git issue/PR status. I’m comfortably up to 8-12 sessions working in different worktrees.

Lol what? I am somewhat new to the site and this is the first post that compelled me to make a comment and thus be forced to make an account.

I’ve used JetBrains products for at least 15 years and this is my genuine opinion. At least what I commented actually contributed to the topic?

I feel somewhat bad for JetBrains. Their entire world was flipped upside down. My first intro to a coding harness was through their IDE. Not even a month later and I stopped using their platform altogether. After the year is up I won’t be renewing any of my company’s subscriptions.

They have to try to push this stuff out to survive but none of it is innovative. Not sure why anyone would pay for this when it can be one-shot with a single good prompt. Sure, it looks fancy but I never cared about that.
