We’re more productive than ever. AI allows us to generate code at supersonic speeds, unfold entire modules in seconds, and ship thousands of lines of code. It’s easier to pick up tasks and generate value, even in unfamiliar codebases. But there’s a dark side. AI-assisted code generation isn’t free; there’s a hidden cost that we as an industry are only beginning to realize: AI burnout. Are we dangerously ignorant to this problem? And how can we cope with it?

Across the industry, developer voices are rising, flagging the troubling state they find themselves in: increasing fatigue, a constant race to keep up with the ever-rising pace of work, mixed feelings about AI-assisted coding, and a persistent energy drain. Vibe-coding turns into doom-coding. — Read More
