- The Standup: Adam from Open Code and recovering from AI Psychosis
- Oh that is AI Psychosis. I thought it was gambling addiction XD
- The problem of “I don’t know what I want to build, let me prompt it anyways” is real, that is a gateway drug to the slot machine and gambling like traits for programming. It starts by some thing it created by a simple prompt and we are in awe, a dopamine hit to extend that prompt and try again with this tweak, by checking that, by asking it to patch it and all of that instruction to make it work. But it spirals into a loop.
- Everyone is being suffering from that, only few are lucky or I should say earned position, luxury of being able to take time off. Not everyone can take a week break and find it better, rather its extremely double the tasks from normal. People are just crazy on how developers can be used. They want us to use AI as a native tool. I understand that, but it cannot happen over-night and especially not in times of deadline of client requirements. Juggling between client expectation and AI psychosis is a pain, a literal head ache.
- I don’t when will this era be over , its too mentally taxing and if not broken it can lead to a bigger burnout that nobody talks about.
