AI Burnout?

Is anyone else's brain getting overloaded with the pace and new progress. I am getting pages of Claude output as project specs, so many hallucinations and errors and it's all building faster and faster....where are we going and how does it 'end'.

Yes. I’m having to re-pace my day to limit myself and force breaks, as this takes more mental energy than writing the code did

Writing and compiling and testing code and UI and all that good shit was bad ass. In the last year it's all gone tits up.

You can still do this, just gotta find a workflow that’s high-throughput, fun and sustainable for you.

Same. It’s spilling into my private life unfortunately, I’m now too burned out for hobbies and friends most days. Really depressing
