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.

Refreshing take, what's bad of this AI period is all the anti-AI stuff around it.

Otherwise I've never been less stressed and chill in my working life.

I'm not sure if you could share the window manager but I'd love to get a glimpse of it, as it sounds interesting!
