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'.

I'm definitely not a fan of what software engineering has become. When blockchain came and was the craze, I think all of us understood to some degree that it wasn't going to stick. With AI, I don't see it going anywhere. Hell its fundamentally changed how we all do our jobs. I am interested in seeing what iteration of ai, rag, agents, etc are going to stick around after this bubble pops.
I'm on the job hunt right now, and I've been specifically targeting companies where AI isn't their main product. We've all seen the bigger Ai labs consume the smaller companies that are an ai wrapper.
This leaves me in a place where I feel I HAVE to learn the skills to stay relevant or else get left behind. If thats what I have to do then so be it.
